The Parent stage of spiritual maturity reflects a deep relationship with God, characterized by a strong grasp of His Word and its application in daily life. Such individuals are God-dependent, others-centered, and committed to reproducing mature disciples of Christ. Encouraged by 2 Timothy 2:1-2, they invite others to follow their example as they grow in faith. At Nine Forks Baptist, we believe that the church has a vital role in nurturing each spiritual stage, ensuring a vibrant and enduring community of believers.
