Next Steps

At E91 we believe faith is a journey, not a destination. Whether you're brand new in your walk with Jesus or you've been following him for years, we all have a next step to take. We know next steps look different for everyone, so we have several different ways you can explore below. If you don't see something below that piques your interest, please complete this form, and we'd love to have a conversation with you. We also invite you to stop in the Next Steps Room (located on the right of the main lobby, just inside the main entrance) any Sunday after services, where friendly volunteers are waiting to talk to you about your next step.

We believe baptism is a symbol of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and new life. Baptism is one of the ways we respond to God as we recognize who Jesus is and what he has done for us through his life, death and resurrection. Jesus has given us an opportunity to communicate to the world around us that we are identifying with him. In a real sense, we are saying that we are “all in” with Jesus. In baptism, we identify with Jesus in his life, death, and resurrection (Romans 6:3,4). Through faith in Christ, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). We have a new identity (Ephesians 1:3-14). Through baptism, we glorify God by pointing to Jesus.

The Passion and Purpose Lab is an opportunity to discover and unleash the gifts that God has given you for Kingdom impact.

“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And WHATEVER you do, in word or deed, do EVERYTHING in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:15-17).

The Passion & Purpose Lab is a practical approach to defining an individual's "whatever" while exploring the unique gifting, wiring, strengths, and opportunities that God has given each of us. We are each uniquely fitted with a passion that makes us come alive. God's purpose for His people is to make Jesus known to the world around them. The P&P Lab is an online, at your own pace learning experience sets a foundation for understanding our purpose and using our passions to step into the calling God is placing on our lives.

Equip E91 is not a program or elective Bible classes. Equip E91 is about equipping God's people to live life on mission - our way of helping people help people take text steps with Jesus. We learn from Paul in Ephesians 4:12, that we are to "equip the saints for the work of ministry..."

We will have several equipping opportunities throughout the year, including some online equip courses. Check out these two online courses, both are designed to allow you to go at your own pace, engage with others, and receive support from the instructor.

During this interactive two-day training we will learn to make disciples the way Jesus did, through relationships. When we are building authentic relationships with others, we are building trust, opportunities, and the confidence to share Jesus with those in our lives!
Not only will we learn relational discipleship, we get to experience it with one another. You will hear some talks over the 2 days but the majority of the time you will be engaging and sharing with 3-4 others at your table. DiscipleSHIFTis a great place to get to know others as we encourage each other to be disciples who make disciples! We offer this training 2-3 times per year.
