Baptism Sunday – April 6th
During our 11:00 AM Sunday Service on April 6th, we will be celebrating new life in Jesus with the sacrament of Water Baptism. This special ceremony symbolizes the cleansing of sins and the rebirth into a new, spiritual life.
We consider Water Baptism to be a significant step in the journey of faith, following the example set by Jesus Christ, who himself was baptized in the River Jordan. It is an outward declaration of an inward transformation, and a testament to one’s commitment to follow Him.
If you are interested in being baptized or have any questions regarding Water Baptism, please contact Pastor Brad, who will be happy to guide you through this profound experience and provide additional insights and support
