New to Faith?

I just decided to follow Jesus. Now what?

First of all, yay! We at EV Free rejoice with you at this new commitment in your life.  Throughout time and eternity, God has been anxiously waiting for the opportunity to know and claim you as His own and to introduce you to His Son, Jesus Christ.  Rest assured that He will walk with you always on this journey and will teach you all things, by the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and give you discernment.

Below are a few ideas/suggestions for taking those next few crucial steps. We hope they will help!

Come To Worship

Every weekend, EV Free prays the worship service will bring you closer to God and your fellow believers.  Through worship, prayer and Steve's sermons, we trust that God will speak to you.

If you ever come away from the service bewildered about a song's theology, choice made during worship and prayer, or the sermon, please do not walk away discouraged. Steve, the prayer team, and staff would love to talk with you about your confusions and address any questions. We are here to help!

Read the Bible + Pray

It doesn't matter if you've never read the Bible before. And please do not get discouraged if you don't understand half of what is being said.  This is God's love letter to His people and with the help of the Holy Spirit, He desires to speak to you.

Looking for a good study Bible? Have a question? Any of the pastors would love the chance to sit down and talk with you.

Join a Life Group

Fellowship is a huge part of any Christian's path to success. Our Life Groups are for the purpose of growing in relationship with God and each other.  Life Groups are all about doing life together, meeting new people, having fun, and growing in your faith. A fantastic opportunity, in fact, for you to connect on a personal level with other believers. You'll be amazed how much you will learn from each other with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Talk to a Pastor

If you have any questions, please call the church office (805-262-5000) and ask for one of our pastors.  You can also e-mail one of our pastors or elders if you prefer. We are here to help you! It is our pleasure to walk with you.
