“Assembly the people – men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns – so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
– Deuteronomy 31: 12-13

As part of our Growth Institute, the goal of Bases for Growth is to provide a systematic way to learn and practice the basic habits to assist Christians in their life long journey of growing in God and become a “Home Run” Christian. The Bases for Growth will center around the seven essentials of discipleship which are as follows: Salvation and Assurance, New Life in Christ, The Bible, Prayer, Fellowship, Witness and Service. |
|||||||
Bases for Growth consist of four bases of growth as listed below. At each growth base, a list of Growth Institute courses are listed to assist a person to learn and practice that aspect of your Christian life. As a person completes the course listed under that base, they will receive a certificate of completion and can move to the next base. Our goal is to move people around the bases where each person can become a “home run” Christian! |

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.”
