Whether a person's first exposure to Cobblestone Community Church is a servant outreach, a social event, a Sunday celebration, or something else, we hope to make it as easy as possible for people of all kinds to enter the Cobblestone path.

Among the first steps on the Cobblestone path for most people is going to be attendance at the weekend celebrations.

Quarterly Newcomers Pizzas give people a chance to meet some of the pastors, leaders, and members of the church, ask questions, learn a little, and eat a little.

This two-hour seminar (offered four times a year) covers salvation, baptism and communion, the mission, vision, values, and strategies of our church.

This three-session seminar, to be offered at least twice a year (and ideally three times) will focus on the four basic habits every Christian needs to grow to spiritual maturity: Time in God's Word, Prayer, Tithing, and Fellowship. At the end of this level (and subsequent levels on the Cobblestone path), people will be asked to make various commitments to deepen their spiritual growth and increase level of commitment within the church).

God didn't design ministry for just the few with seminary degrees. At Cobblestone, every member of the church is a minister. This is what Cobblestone 301 (a two- or three-session seminar, to be offered at least once a year and ideally in the Spring and Fall) is all about. Through the SHAPE process, you'll learn how God can use your Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experience to minister to others in need.

First, God gave you a special ability when you started following Him. We call this a spiritual gift. God gives us this gift to build up our church family and reach out to the world with Christ's love.

Second, God gives each of us a unique passion for particular activities, subjects and circumstances. God uses those things we feel deeply about to show us where we can serve without quickly burning out.

Third, you have abilities, given to you before you accepted Christ, that God can use. Those abilities will help you in a ministry.

Fourth, God can use your personality. God can use all of us, whether we're extroverts or introverts; we enjoy routine or variety.

Finally, God has placed a multitude of experiences in your life to help mold you for ministry. God can use many of our experiences in our background to help heal hurts in our church and in our community.

This three-session seminar (to be offered at least once a year, and ideally in the Spring and Fall like 201 and 301) will be dedicated to helping members discover and realize their place in the world and in home missions. "Discovering My Life Mission" is over four hours of equipping and empowering members for world and life-changing missions. This class has three primary emphases: 1. Learning to Share My Faith, 2. Becoming A "World-Class" Christian, and 3. Discovering God's Mission for my life.
