Next Step Badges and
Milestones: FAQ

At Cherry Hills Community Church, we believe that spiritual growth is a personal journey — one that looks different for each individual. We all grow at our own pace, and that’s okay. That’s why we’ve created Next Steps — intentional opportunities designed to help you take your next step in following Christ, no matter where you are on your spiritual path. Our app is designed to help you journey through your walk with Jesus. Not only will it give you a next step to take, but it will also provide updates on events specifically for you!

BADGE | Attend

We believe that true spiritual growth is nurtured through consistent and intentional participation in communal worship. Gathering regularly with a community of fellow believers not only strengthens our connection to God but also deepens our relationships with one another, encouraging accountability, shared learning, and mutual support in our faith journey.

Your Worship icon will light when you check in at least 4 times within 16 weeks. You can check in on your dashboard.

BADGE | Baptism

We believe that Christ’s final command before ascending to heaven expressed the high importance he placed on the act of baptism (Matthew 28:19). We are committed to partnering with our community as they take important steps forward, like baptism, in their faith journey.

Your Baptism icon will light once you’ve been baptized. If you have been baptized outside of Cherry Hills Community Church, please let us know so we can make sure your badge is lit.

BADGE | Groups

At Cherry Hills Community Church, we believe that genuine and lasting life transformation is most powerfully experienced through small group ministry. In these close-knit gatherings, individuals can form meaningful relationships, share openly, and walk alongside one another in their journey of faith. Our church offers a variety of small groups designed to help you connect more deeply with God and with others—creating a true sense of belonging within your church home.

Your Connect icon will light when you get connected to a Group within Cherry Hills Community Church and attend 4 times within 16 weeks.

BADGE | Serve

We believe that one of the most powerful and meaningful ways to live out your faith is through serving others. When we step outside of ourselves to care for those around us, we reflect the heart of Jesus and embody the love, grace, and compassion that He calls us to share. Serving not only meets the practical needs of others—it also transforms our own hearts, deepens our faith, and strengthens our sense of purpose.

Your Serve icon will light when you’ve joined a serving group been added to a serving roster at Cherry Hills Community Church.

BADGE | Give

Here, we believe that giving is an essential step in spiritual growth and maturity. Put simply, growing people are generous people. Your generosity reflects the heart of Christ and makes an eternal impact. When you give at Cherry Hills, you partner with us in God’s mission to make disciples who impact the world for His glory. Through our unified approach to giving, your contributions support all the ministries of our church and our local and global mission partners. Together, we’re advancing His Kingdom and transforming lives.

Your Give icon will light when you give for the first time to Cherry Hills Community Church or if you have given at least 4 times in the past 16 weeks.

BADGE | Share

We believe there is power in sharing your story. Your experiences reflect God’s work in your life and can inspire, encourage, and strengthen the faith of others. At Cherry Hills Community Church, we’ve created a space for you to share how God has moved in your life—because your story matters.

Your Share icon will light after submitting a story about your faith journey with us.
