School graduations are in full swing, marking a significant milestone in peoples’ lives . 

While we do have high school graduates who we will celebrate this Sunday , we also have another class “moving up” that you see all over church: Belong Track grads.

During the three-session Belong Track, “students” immerse themselves in spiritual activities to further their journey in becoming fully engaged followers of Christ. They gain knowledge, form new friendships, and dig into how and where the Holy Spirt may lead them next. And know this: Discipleship happens most naturally in the context of meaningful relationships.

That’s why you’ll see BT graduates glorifying God on serve teams. People like Fred and Joe on security. Debbie and Eva on the hospitality/greeter team. Caleb, Carolyn, Celine and Jim on stage, leading off services with the Worship Team. There’s Emy on social media, Jay and Stacy on the kitchen team, and Angela and Kaye serving as Belong Track connectors. There are so many more.

Other grads serve the Lord in others ways. Take for instance Jesús, Sherryl and Skyler who lead Belong Groups. Still other grads are praying about God’s plan and watching as the Holy Spirit leads them as participants in events and Belong Groups.

What’s God Doing in Your Life?

While there are no late-night-study jams or tests, Belong Track grads get better tuned into what God is doing in their lives right here at New Hope Church.

To get “plugged in,” to get in better sync with what God desires you to do in your church and beyond, talk with Pastor Chuck or Belong Track Coach Danny Hallforth. Don’t be overwhelmed with the decision. Don’t overthink it. God does the heavy lifting, right? We’re simply asked to keep in step with Him, continually discerning His will and guidance.
