GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Baptism Sunday | May 18th | NEW DATE
The Bible commands that after making a decision to follow Jesus we are to be baptized. This is a symbol of new life in Christ. It shows they want to celebrate that new life in Christ and commit to living for Jesus publicly.

If you would like to take that next step and be baptized or you want to discuss baptism further, learn more HERE.
