Growing

Here at Southgate we've created a path to move you toward spiritual growth and biblical community. This path will assist you in uniting in loving, Christ‑centered relationships. Each action principle on the growth path represents another step of commitment to each other and to the Lord. Our ultimate goal on the journey is to be like Christ. But, we must realize that becoming like Christ is a process that takes time. Just as God allowed Joshua and the Israelites to possess the land "little by little" (Duet. 7:22), He uses a gradual process of change to develop us into the image of Christ.

This journey of spiritual growth and biblical community should not be viewed as a sequence of steps that you must follow in a certain order until you've "arrived." Instead, view these as menu items that you may pick and choose from according to your needs and God's leading in your life. Select the menu items that have the spiritual nutrition you need to grow up spiritually and together in biblical community.
