Next Steps
WE ALL HAVE A NEXT STEP TO TAKE.
WHAT’S YOURS?
The primary image for following Jesus in the Bible is a journey. We all start somewhere and the goal or the destination is Jesus: knowing him, loving him, and living like him.
No matter who you are or what you believe, you’re invited into this journey with us.
Here are some steps you can take on the journey.
CHECK OUT A NEIGHBORHOOD EVENT
You can find us in the neighborhood at block parties, community meals, and outdoor events throughout the year. We partner with other organizations, friends, and neighbors to create safe spaces for everyone in the neighborhood to have fun, grow connections, and find resources.
Come see us at one of our upcoming events here.
ATTEND A SUNDAY GATHERING
VISITING A CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME CAN BE INTIMIDATING. THAT’S WHY WHEN YOU VISIT FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU’LL FIND OUR COMMUNITY WELCOMING AND HELPFUL TO ANY AND EVERY QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE AS YOU ATTEND.
TO LEARN MORe ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT, CHECK OUT THE “I’M NEW” PAGE.
IF YOU HAVE KIDS WITH YOU, YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR KIDS’ CLASSES AND PRE-REGISTER YOUR KIDS HERE.
WE MEET AT 1690 HILLSIDE TERRACE, AKRON EVERY SUNDAY @ 10:30AM.
TAKE A CLASS
WE OFFER CLASSES AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE YEAR TO HELP YOU LEARN HOW TO FOLLOW JESUS AND TO GROW IN YOUR JOURNEY FOLLOWING HIM.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE CLASSES WE OFFER:
HOPE IN THE HEIGHTS: A ONE-HOUR INTRO TO WINGFOOT CHURCH AFTER CHURCH ENDS ON SUNDAY.
EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY DISCIPLESHIP: TWO EIGHT-WEEK CLASSES THAT WILL HELP YOU GROW IN LOVING GOD AND LOVING OTHERS WELL.
LEARN MORE AND REGISTER FOR UPCOMING CLASSES HERE.
GET BAPTIZED
BAPTISM IS A PICTURE OF THE NEW LIFE THAT JESUS IS WORKING OUT IN YOU. WHEN YOU TRUST IN JESUS, YOU ARE A “NEW CREATION.” BAPTISM IS PUBLICALLY DECLARING THAT YOU FOLLOW JESUS AND THAT HE HAS MADE YOU NEW THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION ON YOUR BEHALF. WE HOLD BAPTISMS ALL THE TIME, SO ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK!
IF YOU’RE NOT SURE IF YOU’RE READY FOR BAPTISM, THE HOPE IN THE HEIGHTS CLASS IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT!
JOIN THE FAMILY
BECOMING A MEMBER AT WINGFOOT CHURCH IS DIFFERENT THAN BECOMING A MEMBER AT SAM’S CLUB. YOU’RE DECIDING TO MAKE WINGFOOT CHURCH THE COMMUNITY YOU CALL HOME WHERE YOU’LL BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND GROW WITH OTHERS. IT’S AN IMPORTANT STEP IN YOUR JOURNEY!
TO BECOME A MEMBER, ATTEND OUR TWO-WEEK MEMBERSHIP CLASS, WHERE YOU’LL BUILD A PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP PLAN, CONNECT WITH A COMMUNITY, AND DISCOVER HOW GOD HAS GIFTED YOU TO SERVE.
LEARN MORE AND REGISTER FOR THE UPCOMING MEMBERSHIP CLASSES HERE.
SERVE
Following Jesus leads us to a life lived for and with others. Serving others is the first and best way to grow in your journey with Jesus. WHEN YOU JOIN THE CHURCH FAMILY, YOU’LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET CONNECTED TO A TEAM OF FOLKS WHO SERVE EACH OTHER AND THE COMMUNITY EACH WEEK.
We have multiple ways to serve in the church and around the community. Learn more about serving here.
JOIN A DISCIPLESHIP COMMUNITY
You weren’t made to live life alone. Being in community with other people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences all following Jesus is essential to growing.
COMMUNITIES MEET AT VARIOUS NIGHTS OF THE WEEK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE GREATER AKRON AREA TO EAT TOGETHER, PRAY TOGETHER, AND FOLLOW JESUS TOGETHER.
Find a community that fits you here.
MULTIPLY & LEAD OTHERS
