Some of the ways you can broaden and deepen your relationship with God, and the other Christians at NorthWest. While this is an incomplete list, and some things may not be for all people, these things are a good place to start.
• Pray – talk to God and tell Him about your needs, your joys, your struggles, your triumphs and your tragedies. He is waiting to hear from you, and will bless you in ways you may not expect.
• Read the Bible – We believe that the Bible is God’s instructions to us, with much wisdom for successful living today.
• Attend Bible Class and Worship Regularly - Decide immediately that you will make a habit of attending worship services and Bible class. Regularly attending gives you more knowledge of God’s purpose for you, and gives others the opportunity to meet you and you the opportunity to know them. Building friendships takes time and some risks, so make the decision to be consistent in your attendance to go beyond your comfort zone a little in an effort to get to know others.
• Use Your Spiritual Gifts - Make a commitment to participate in at least one ministry at NorthWest where you can use your God-given gifts to serve God, the believers at NorthWest, and our neighbors here in San Antonio. If you need help in determining where you might fit best, get with Chuck Morris 210-688-3002 who has some tools for helping people find their place. Becoming like Jesus means becoming a servant. If your commitment to NorthWest amounts to nothing more than attending a weekly worship service, you will find it hard to become all that God wants for you to be.
• Join a Life Group - Living a life for Jesus in isolation is next to impossible, and that's why we think it's important for new members at NorthWest to make a commitment to a home group. You will build friendships with people who will love you and encourage you on your walk. Our experience shows that a commitment to a small group improves the opportunity to form supporting friendships in our walk with God.

• Don't Give Up - Becoming all God wants for you to be is a long process. Likewise, building relationships and finding your place at NorthWest won't happen overnight. Make a commitment to do everything you can, and pray that God will help you do what you can't do.
