Beginning is the way to join Salt Church well
Beginning is the perfect thing for you if you would call yourself a Christian, have been at Salt Church for a bit and are looking to take the next step towards becoming a member here. It goes for 5 weeks with weekly session to discuss everything you need to know about our Church, what we believe and what it’ll look like for you to a part of what we’re doing here. We run Beginning every few months. If you wouldn’t call yourself a Christian yet, then Life would be the best thing for you right now.
An overview of the weekly sessions:
With existing members of Salt & the pastoral team, it’s a great place to meet others at Salt Church as we work through the different areas of Christian life and how they play out in our lives at Salt Church. Our big prayer at Salt is that we’d see a flood of lifelong disciples of Jesus across the Illawarra and beyond. We’d love to help you think through what it looks like for you to be growing as a disciple of Jesus, growing in 5 big areas of your life:
- Magnifying God and how great he is by living lives of adoration, praise and thanksgiving.
- Maturing in him by bringing their decision-making and life choices under his word.
- Living as members of one another and celebrating the fact that as Christians we are a gathered people.
- Serving Jesus and his church in ministry with their lives and time and resources.
- And being urgently on mission to see more of their friends and family hear about the solid hope on offer in Jesus
Each week we have a practical sermon from a Salt Pastor, digging into what the Bible says about one of these big topics. We then have time for discussion with a time to reflect and also brainstorm practical applications. Thinking points such as “How can I live my whole life for God”, “What truth about God or Scripture am I uncomfortable with at the moment? Why is this? What steps could I take to change this?” and “How do I react when I disagree with someone?”.
We will also talk about different parts of church life such as joining a Small Group, Safe Ministry, serving within the church, as well as an opportunity to become a formal member of our Church on the last week.
Here’s a little taster of what you can expect at Beginning:

Testimonies from members of Salt Church:
“Joining a new church can be an overwhelming process to navigate, but the Beginning series makes it so smooth and simple. It’s a great first step to help introduce and connect you to others in church, and you’ll feel right at home after the first week”
