Next Steps

Congratulations on deciding to take your next step. We are so excited to come alongside you as you move forward on your spiritual journey towards a life of freedom and fulfillment.

We look forward to walking with you as you take your next steps through our discipleship path, which is based on our mission to know God, grow together, discover purpose and make a difference.

Download the Discipleship Path below as you take your next steps. 

KNOW GOD

At King’s Park, we want you to know God through our Sunday Services and through Life Groups. We believe engaging people to know God and make Him known is the heart of mission.

GROW TOGETHER

We also want you to get established in a relationship with Christ and with other believers so that we may all grow together. We invite you to attend Growth Track, a four-step class where we explain our mission and vision and help you find your place in it. Growing together also happens in Life Groups and in more personal settings using One2One.

DISCOVER PURPOSE

We equip people to discover purpose through Growth Track, Life Groups and the Go Team. As you serve on the Go Team, you will be able to know and use your spiritual gifts, which will help you understand God’s purpose for your life. We also want to encourage you to participate in our upcoming Discipleship Classes and Equip.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

As you are knowing God, growing together and discovering purpose, we also want you to be empowered to make a difference. Join us in serving people through Community Outreach, in being trained as leaders through Leadership 215 and in living lives that declare and demonstrate the good news of Jesus Christ!

King's Park Growth Track

Growth Track

The King’s Park Growth Track introduces you to the nature and purpose of God and how you fit into His plan. It is made up of four steps to help you Know God, Grow Together, Discover Purpose and Make a Difference.

If you’re interested in learning more about King’s Park, getting more involved or becoming a member, join other guests at Growth Track. Classes are on Sundays after our 11:00 am service in the Baptismal Lobby.

You can download a digital copy of the workbook below or pick up a hard copy at our Welcome desk in the lobby. We will be providing lunch and childcare.

Registration is not required to join. For more details, email Macaela Campbell.

Note: There is no Growth Track during the months of July and December.

Step 1: Know God

Every First Sunday

We believe the first step in growing as a Christian is knowing God. stepONE provides an opportunity to learn more about the Gospel in more detail, including information about water baptism. You also have the opportunity to be baptized at the end of stepONE.

Step 2: Grow Together

Every Second Sunday

We believe the best next step is to connect with others. stepTWO explores the history and mission of King’s Park, the purpose of Life Groups and how you can be involved in the mission of King’s Park.

Step 3: Discover Purpose

Every Third Sunday

We believe the next step is to discover our unique God-given purpose. stepTHREE is where you can identify spiritual gifts, personality traits and ways to utilize them in your life.

Step 4: Make A Difference

Every Fourth Sunday

We believe a person’s next step is to start making a difference in the lives of others by participating in the Gospel mission. stepFOUR is where you have the opportunity to speak with a ministry leader one on one to discuss next steps and the possibility of serving on the King’s Park Go Team.

Life Groups

BUILD FAMILY
Life Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and as we do that, we enter into the full life He intends for us.

Sharing life within community is part of our design, but it’s not always easy to find meaningful relationships. That’s why Life Groups exist—to make space for you to access healthy, life-changing friendships.

Click below to browse our directory and find a group that’s right for you.

Men's life group
What happens at a Life Group meeting?

You’ve probably seen Life Groups meeting and not even realized it. A Life Group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a Life Group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. 

How often do Life Groups meet?

Groups meet weekly, bi-weekly and monthly throughout the year.

Where do Life Groups meet?

Life Groups happen throughout the triangle area of Durham, North Carolina.

Is there childcare available?

Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.

What if I don’t like the first group I try?

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in Life Groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!

Go Team

The Go Team serves King’s Park and creates opportunities for others to know God, grow together, discover their purpose and make a difference.
