Faith Foundations

If you are new to the Christian faith, the Foundations Group may be just the opportunity for you. Perhaps you’ve followed the Alpha Course and you wonder what’s next and how you can grow as a Christian. Or maybe you've been a Christian for a while but have missed out on becoming well established in your faith. Faith Foundations is a new ministry at Crossroads Amsterdam. We started it at the request of a group who had finished Alpha and knew they needed help to grow. Our goal is to help new Christians to develop a thriving relationship with God. During five months together we teach and mentor around five essentials biblical truths upon which a strong foundation of faith can be built.
 

What can I expect?

1. You'll learn five essential truths of walking with Christ in our five months together. You'll begin to experience what it means to:
 

• develop intimacy with God
• claim the new identity which is yours in Christ
• know God's forgiveness and the grace of extending it to others
• grow in surrendering to Christ as Lord of your life
• begin to be transformed to be more like Jesus

These truths run deep and it may take a lifetime to grasp their full significance. But by introducing them to you early in your walk of faith, we'll help you to lay a solid foundation for healthy spiritual future.

2. You'll be connected with a mentor who will support you in your growth. Once a month we meet in mentor groups to help you to understand and apply what you've learned.

3. You'll learn how the Bible can speak to you Each night there's a short teaching, some interaction, and a Bible study around the theme. We stay with each theme for a month so that you can grasp its meaning for your life. Our desire is that you'll step into the adventure of reading the Bible for yourself and understanding its great promises for you.
 

When does it start and how to sign up?

The next Foundations Group will begin on Thursday 22 April 2010. We meet weekly, 19.30-22.00, at the Crossroads Ministry Centre. The following group will begin in January 2011 after the autumn Alpha Course has ended. If you are interested, please contact foundations@xrds.nl.
 

How to get involved

The Foundations Team is made up of a fabulous group of people who love to mentor young Christians. We work with a ratio of about 1 mentor for 3 participants, so the size of the team is dependent upon the size of each group. If you are interested in joining our team please contact Jakar or Martine van Blaaderen, our teamleaders, at foundations@xrds.nl
