Next Steps
What's Comes Next?
Church is more than just attending and being in a service.
After someone receives Christ as their Saviour, it's not the end of the story, it's the start of a new journey. Sparrow Baptist Church has several programs to help new believers grow in their in newfound walk in Jesus Christ.
We were created to worship and in doing so we find God, and we find ourselves. We express our worship of Jesus Christ through congregational and special singing of songs, hymns, and spiritual songs. We worship through attentive listening to Bible readings, preaching, and teaching. We express worship through the giving tithes and offerings. We also worship by giving Jesus Christ thanks for who He is and what He has done in our lives. This spirit and purpose permeates everything we do. In this, we strive to practically carry out the First Greatest Commandment of loving the Lord our God with all we are.
(John 4:24, Col. 3:16)

I have been coming to church but I am still unsure of my Eternity,
how can I be confident of spending forever in Heaven?
There is no greater question we will answer in life than where we will spend Eternity. If you are still uncertain about this, consider doing one of the following-
​
*Taking a "Knowing Jesus personally" booklet from the table in the church lobby. These are free and very helpful for answering these questions in detail.
* Speak to Pastor at church. Pastor Cory McTague will be happy to schedule a time to sit down with you and answer any questions you may have.
*Email pastor at sparrowbaptisttoronto@gmail.com to begin a conversation.
* Begin reading in the book of John.
​
The Bible tells us in I John-"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." You can have confidence of this today! Please don't hesitate to reach out.​​​
I have trusted Christ as my Saviour but I'm not sure how to grow as
a Christian. What should I do?
Just as important as knowing where you will spend eternity is how to develop a relationship with Christ after you have decided to follow him. What is faith? How do I talk to God? What part does church play in the Christians life? All of these questions and more can be found in our New Believers Mentorship Program. This is a 8-10 week program that is spent with a Christian mentor, along side church attendance, where you work through a small book that lays out in detail how to get your Christian life started with confidence and in the right direction for success.
I am new to attending a Baptist church. How can I learn the core beliefs of
a Baptist?
We hold a Baptist Doctrines class on Saturdays every 3-6 months where you can learn about all of the doctrines that the Bible teaches; the Trinity, Sin, Virgin birth, etc. Please reach out to Pastor McTague or the church office if you would like to attend the next session.
I would like to donate to the church. How can I do that?
A cash offering is taken every Sunday but you can also send via e-transfer at sparrowbaptisttoronto@gmail.com
