On Sunday, September 22nd, we joyfully celebrated as Sherita Jones, Alan Pratt, and Rosario Saavadra took a significant step in their faith journey through baptism. Led by Pastor Rick Jones, this sacred ceremony symbolized their outward expression of an inward faith and marked their official welcome into the family of God. We are delighted to share in this special milestone and look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow in their spiritual walk.

Baptism is a significant act in the Christian faith, symbolizing a believer's commitment to Christ and the washing away of sins. It represents identification with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, marking the start of a new life in Him. Additionally, baptism welcomes individuals into the community of believers, the Church. 

We warmly invite anyone who wishes to be baptized to join us in this beautiful act of faith. It’s a celebration of God’s grace and a reminder of our shared journey in faith. If you feel called to take this step, please reach out to us!

Baptism is a powerful expression of our faith, symbolizing our unity with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Through baptism, we are not only cleansed from our old ways but are also raised to walk in the newness of life, just as Christ was raised from the dead. It’s a public declaration of an inward transformation, marking the beginning of a new journey in Christ, reflecting His glory and grace.
