Church is people
Church & Community
In Acts 2, church looked like people devoted to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer. They met in homes, carried one another's burdens, and lived with glad and sincere hearts. These guides explore how that can take shape today.

A clear path into Church & Community
What happens when you get baptized?
The water part is simple. Here is what to expect before, during, and afterward.
non denominational ChristianityFollowing Jesus without a denomination
Yes. Jesus calls people to follow Him, and the New Testament does not require membership in a denomination. Christians still need shared life with other believers: teaching, meals, prayer, care, correction, and mission as seen in Acts 2:42-47.
Christian loneliness helpFollowing Jesus when you feel alone
When you feel alone, keep doing the next thing Jesus taught and tell Him the truth about your loneliness. Seek one trustworthy follower of Jesus, share a meal, ask for prayer, and become the kind of steady friend you hope to find.
after baptism guideWhat to do after baptism
After baptism, begin living as a disciple with other followers of Jesus. Acts 2:41-47 shows newly baptized believers learning the apostles’ teaching, sharing meals and prayer, meeting in homes, caring for needs, and praising God together.
new Christian guideWhat a new Christian should do first
A new Christian should begin learning and practicing the way of Jesus with other believers. Read Matthew, continue with John, devote yourself to the apostles’ teaching, shared meals, prayer, generosity, and daily fellowship as the baptized believers did in Acts 2:41-47.
