GROW Bible Study

Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand.
Jeremiah 18:6

Our Heart

We are here for you.

I

The one who feels lost

So you may find home.

II

The one who feels broken

So you may be restored.

III

The one who feels hungry

So you may be filled with Word and Spirit.

IV

The one who feels called

So you may be equipped, empowered, and sent.

“Now you are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” — Ephesians 2:19

The Pathway

No one should wander aimlessly in their faith.

Twelve weeks of foundation, then a lifetime of multiplication. A clear journey from where you are to where God is calling you — not a programme you attend, a path you walk.

See the seven stages

Required of every member

Transformed · 12 Weeks

Salvation, prayer, deliverance, holiness, the Word, the Holy Spirit, and living with purpose. The foundation everything else is built on.

“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.” — Colossians 2:6–7

About Us

More than a church — a Kingdom family.

We are a people called to be mended by God’s love, filled with His Spirit, and sent into His purpose. Our heartbeat is simple: to make Jesus known, to multiply disciples, and to transform lives with hope, healing, and purpose. Every person is a vessel of honour in the Potter’s hands. No matter your story, background, or past, there is room for you here.

Vision

To lead people to Jesus, multiply disciples, and inspire lives to thrive with purpose, abundance, and eternal hope.

Mission

To show God’s love by meeting spiritual and physical needs, empowering people to grow, heal, and walk in their God-given purpose — while strengthening families through Christ-centred programmes that bring hope, healing, and lasting impact.

Our Identity

One church, many expressions.

A Christ-centred family — bound together by love, faith, and unity in Christ.
A house of fervent, effectual prayer — supplication, intercession, and travail until we see God answer.
A healing and deliverance house — where chains break, hope is restored, and lives are transformed.
A discipleship movement — we don’t just gather; we grow, equip, and send.
A global community — Queens, New York, and online around the world.

Statement of Belief

What we confess.

01

God

One God, eternally revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19

02

Jesus Christ

The Son of God, fully God and fully man. Born of the virgin Mary, lived sinless, died for our sins, rose again, and reigns forever.

John 1:14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4

The Holy Spirit

The baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and the operation of the Spirit’s gifts — prophecy, healing, miracles — with the fruit of the Spirit present in the believer.

Galatians 5:19–23 · 1 Peter 1:15–16

The Kingdom & Eternity

Heaven and hell are real. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and Christ will return to judge and reign forever.

Matthew 25:46 · 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 · Revelation 20:11–15

The Spiritual Growth Pathway

From where you are, to where He is calling you.

Have you ever been in church for years and still felt something was missing? That gap is what this closes. Two parts: a foundation that is required of everyone, and a lifetime of multiplication after it.

Lost

Wandering without Christ

Saved

Forgiven, adopted, made new

Disciple

Roots planted in the Word

Mature Disciple

Steady, bearing fruit

Servant

Gifts discovered and given

Leader

Pouring into others

Multiplier

Making disciples who make disciples

Part 1 · Required

Transformed — 12 Weeks

Your foundation. Salvation, prayer, deliverance, holiness, the Word, the Holy Spirit, and living with purpose. No house stands without a foundation, and we would rather you were grounded than shaky.

Every covenant member completes Transformed before serving or leading. Serving opens after four weeks of consistent attendance.

“Let your roots grow down into him.” — Colossians 2:6–7

Part 2 · Ongoing

Disciple-Maker / Multiplier

Where the journey continues. Small groups for accountability, then serving, then leadership development, and finally multiplication — discipling others who go on to disciple others.

An ordination pathway through Door of Favor Theological Seminary is open to proven leaders by recommendation.

“When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples.” — John 15:8

Stage by Stage

What happens, and why it matters.

Stage	What happens	Why it matters
Lost → Saved	You realise life without Christ leaves you wandering and broken. By faith, you accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour.	You are forgiven, adopted into God’s family, and given new life. This is your fresh start.
Saved → Disciple	You begin to learn God’s Word, grow in prayer, and follow Jesus’ teachings daily.	Roots are planted. Your faith becomes strong and steady, preparing you to bear fruit.
Mature → Servant	You discover your gifts and begin serving others — greeting, teaching, praying, helping.	Service makes faith real. It teaches humility, builds character, and blesses the church and world.
Servant → Leader	Faithful service leads to leadership. You influence others through example, guidance, and care.	Leadership multiplies impact. You shift from being poured into, to pouring into others.
Leader → Multiplier	You disciple and train others to become leaders themselves.	This fulfils the Great Commission. You leave a legacy as a servant who multiplies.

Small Groups

Discipleship and accountability alongside the pathway.

Weekly

PlaceholderCourse titles come from the membership guide. Prices, dates, and term structures have not been supplied and are deliberately left blank rather than guessed at.

How paid courses work

Enrolment and payment live inside the same site.

A course page sells the seat, takes the payment, and unlocks the lessons to the person who paid. One system, one login for staff, one place to see who has enrolled.

Note for Chenson, not for the church: this sits on a higher Squarespace plan. Confirm current pricing before committing to a tier — and if Transformed needs real cohort tracking and completion records, that is the one place a dedicated tool may still be worth adding.

How we gather well.

Cameras on — for community, accountability, and safety.
Come prepared — Bible, notebook, pen.
Dress for worship — modest and neat, especially when serving.
Engage with honour — no interrupting; hosts manage the time.
Clear standard English preferred — so the whole house can follow.
Testimonies capped at five minutes — and avoid sensitive personal details.
No private solicitation — if there is a need, contact Pastor Julene and leaders will assess and assist.
Privacy and boundaries — we don’t share numbers. If you connect outside church, use wisdom.
Share our standards before inviting friends — it keeps the peace.

Life Seminar — Home Buying

A practical evening on what it takes to buy your first home.

For Chenson — not a page the church sees

How staff update this.

Posts are written in the Squarespace editor: title, image, text, publish. The homepage strip, this page, and the social feed all pull from the same posts automatically — write once, appears everywhere.

No spreadsheets. No automations. No second login. Everything on this site is edited in one place by one person who has never seen a line of code. That is the whole point of the build.

Plan a Visit

Come as you are. You will not be a stranger.

Whether you walk through the doors in Queens or join us from the other side of the world, someone is expecting you.

Photo of the building and sanctuary

Address incompleteThe sign gives 140-46 and 718-489-3939. The street name is still needed.

What to expect

You will be welcomed — a greeter will find you before you have to find anyone.
Worship and the Word — Spirit-filled, and grounded in Scripture.
Prayer — if you need it, ask. That is what the house is for.
No pressure — come and see. Nothing is expected of a first-time guest.

Become a Covenant Member

Give

Tithes and offerings fuel the vision.

“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7

Give Now

Needs a decisionGiving links out to a dedicated platform — Tithe.ly, Givelify, or Planning Center — because recurring gifts and year-end tax statements are not something a website builder should be handling. The church needs to say which one they use, or pick one. This is the only part of the site that lives somewhere else.

Covenant Membership

Are you ready to move from watching to belonging?

You are not just a viewer here. Covenant membership is a two-way promise — what we commit to you, and what you commit to this family.

Your pastors commit to

Pray for you daily — Colossians 1:9
Teach God’s Word with clarity and power — 2 Timothy 4:2
Shepherd you through battles and breakthroughs — Galatians 6:2
Equip you for the work of ministry — Ephesians 4:11–13
Share your sacred moments — Romans 12:15
Administer the sacraments — 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

Members commit to

Grow — complete Transformed and keep learning — 2 Peter 3:18
Gather — faithful attendance, cameras on online — Hebrews 10:25
Give — tithes and offerings fuel the vision — Malachi 3:10
Serve — choose one role and show up — 1 Peter 4:10
Live Holy — fruit, not flesh — Galatians 5:22–23
Go & Multiply — invite, disciple, repeat — Matthew 28:19–20

Membership is annual and renewable. You can step away at any time with a brief letter — no guilt, only grace. We want your yes to be real.
