Christianity is a journey.
Though there is a single moment when we decide to commit ourselves to Christ, that moment is only the beginning of a continual process of growing into Christ-like-ness and recommitting ourselves to him again and again.

Christian Growth & Development

At Jonesboro UMC, we believe that a mature Christian—

  • Accepts Christ and his grace
  • Worships in spirit and in truth
  • Studies and applies the Bible
  • Prays and spends time seeking God
  • Serves others in the name of Christ and with His compassion
  • Witnesses to God’s saving grace
  • Participates fully in the church—in the sacraments, in loving relationships, in giving, in accountability

Do you need a Christian tune-up?
If so, here are 5 tune-up specials for you:

1. Adjust your lights so others may see your good works.

2. Set your timing so as to be a the meeting on time.

3. Adjust the brakes on your tongue.

4. Align your direction so that you may stay on the straight and narrow.

5. Anti-freeze your heart and be fervent in spirit. Above all things, love the Lord your God will all your heart and soul and mind.
