Becoming a Christian is the most important decision you will ever make. At Holroyd New Life Church we believe this decision is the first step in starting to follow Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Knowing and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour takes time to develop and becomes more meaningful as time goes on. Just like a baby growing up needs to be nurtured and fed, in the same way you need nurturing and help with finding out what the Christian life is all about. Our new believers material is designed to assist you to be established in your faith through Bible study and learning from a teacher or fellow-believer (mentor). We also recommend new members of Holroyd New Life Church go over the studies to familiarise themselves with its teachings.
We acknowledge the part of Ringwood Christian Family Centre, Goulburn Valley Christian Fellowship, and Freedom in Christ Ministries in helping to prepare these studies. These studies have been collated and prepared by members of Holroyd New Life Church for the purpose of discipling new believers. Other Christian churches and ministries are free to use the studies, we simply ask that you acknowledge Holroyd New Life Church and the above contributors. The material has been "dis-enculturated" so that the course is relevant to new believers from any cultural and ethnic background.
The studies are broken up into 15 topics - click on the links below to download the studies in PDF format....
We recommend that each week you will go through a different chapter with your mentor (some chapters may take more than one week). Be sure to have read the information, have the verse memorised and the questions answered before you meet again.
