Salvation

There is nothing we can do to deserve or earn our relationship with God. It is a gift of God’s love. We receive this gift of grace through faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Faith involves confessing to others that you desire Jesus as your Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead as your Savior. Faith involves the changing of our heart and life to please God. Faith involves being immersed in water through baptism to personally share in Christ’s saving actions removing our sin, giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit and making us a part of God’s family.

Following New Testament and historical precedent, we practice adult immersion baptism only. Baptism is a "promise made to God from a good conscience" (I Peter 3:21). We urge all believers to be baptized as a public demonstration of their desire to put their faith in Jesus. For those who have not been baptized, we'd consider it a privilege to be a part of this important step in your spiritual journey. A special study on Baptism: Demonstration of Devotion, will help answer your questions and concerns. Copies are available upon request, or you can read the online version.
