EQUIPPING THE SAINTS: IDENTITY
August 20th - September 24th
Wednesday evenings from 6pm - 8pm in Room 112.
Knowing who we've become by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ is foundational when living the Christian life. It results in having confidence before God, and it can replace the negative thoughts and attitudes so many people hold toward themselves. It also enhances a person's ability to receive God's love. Lastly, it teaches us that Christianity is more about beholding than it is about behaving. The more we see who we've become, the more we'll live it.

CHILD DEDICATIONS
Description goes hereWHAT ARE CHILD DEDICATIONS?
The Bible teaches about child dedication. In 1 Samuel 1, Hannah presents her son Samuel to the Lord. In Luke 2:22, Mary and Joseph bring their baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to present him before the Lord. Child dedications solidify the commitment of parents or caregivers to raise their child up in the Lord, to know God, and to make Him known.
In addition, we have prophetic teams in place that will pray ahead of time for prophetic words over your children. These are recorded and given to parents on the day of the dedication.
SIGN-UP DEADLINE: Tuesday, August 12, 2025 -

BAPTISM SUNDAY
Sunday, August 3, 2025 - 8:00am, 9:30am, & 11:00am Services
Baptism is a significant step in the life of a believer, symbolizing a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. It represents the believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, signifying the cleansing of sin and the beginning of a new life in Christ. As you are immersed in water and brought back up, it symbolizes leaving behind the old self and being raised to new life in Christ.
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation and obedience to Christ’s command. It’s a joyful celebration, shared with the church community, marking your commitment to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. While it doesn't bring salvation itself, it is a powerful act of obedience that reflects a heart surrendered to God’s will.
If you’ve recently committed your life to Christ, or you’ve never been baptized since believing, we invite you to take this step of faith. Let us walk alongside you in this meaningful moment. Sign up today—we’d be honored to celebrate this milestone with you.
