WATER BAPTISM
The scriptures teach that water
baptism practiced
by the apostles was single, total immersion in water in the name of the
Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Since our Lord commanded it, we believe
it
should be observed. It is to be understood as an act of faith and
testimony
subsequent to regeneration and as an outward sign of the inward
spiritual
work brought about in our hearts through the new birth.
(Matthew 28:19; Mark
16:16; Acts
2:38; 39, 10:48, 22:16;
Romans 6:4; Colossians
2:12; Galatians 3:37)
The Biblical formula for baptism is
stated in the Great Commission, “baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”
(Matthew 28:19).
This formula is important for two reasons:
The first reason is that these are the
words of Christ Himself in the formal institution of baptism.

BABY DEDICATION
Being a parent is an awesome
responsibility. The act of Baby Dedication is actually a commitment of
the parents to raise their child in a Godly home by demonstrating God’s
love.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child
in the way he
should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Each child is presented with a Bible
and Certificate.
Please call the church office (513) 867-1995, to register your child
for Baby Dedication.
