Planning your Visit

Growing in Jesus

At the heart of our relationship with Jesus is that we have the peace and security in our hearts that we are saved in our relationship with Jesus and also on the journey in which our relationship with Jesus so that we can gain confidence and assurance of growing in love and fulfilling all that Jesus would desire for our lives, as Jesus says "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John10:10), Here at Longton Elim Church Living Springs our desire is that you can easily see that promise from Jesus experienced in your life. In many ways this is achieved through our loving relationship with Jesus and the fellowship we have with Christian friends along life's journey, but we also are aware that we can provide a spiritual pathway which will bless your life as a believer. we hope that you will be able to make the most of the ministries we have available. There are a number of ministries that might be of help for you in your relationship with the Lord:

Discipleship Course: Special questions; special answers

God loves us and cares for us and as we engage in conversation with him our questions to Him are valued and important. The discipleship course allows us to ask questions about prayer, reading the bible, our relationship with God, water baptism and other topics. Jesus is interested in speaking to our lives and so as we engage with the course it gives us opportunity to grow in our relationship with Jesus.

Water Baptism Course

This is a three part course which looks at the biblical guidance for adult water baptism. As folk have come on the course or enquired through our discipleship course there has been a deeper understanding of the teaching behind adult water baptism and an excitment that we can choose as adults to be water baptised.

Membership Course

Once we have realised that we have found a church that we can call home in our relationship with Jesus one of the ways in which we can strengthen our ties with the church family is to enquire about membership or as some churches describe "partnership". The membership course is an excellent course for you to learn more about membership and have the choice whether to take a step into membership.
