Baptism - July 27, 2025

Baptism is a significant ordinance meant to reflect a personal commitment to Christ and to the church as a spiritual home and community. In many ways, it is meant to be a rite of passage on the journey of personal faith, as long as the individuals being baptized conscientiously and prayerfully choose to follow the ways of Jesus. Please contact the pastor to reserve your spot, and/or create conversation on what it all means. All are welcome & wanted.
