COMMUNION
You don't have to be a member of this church or even a Presbyterian in order to share with us the celebration of communion. The invitation to share with us, the Celebration of Communion is there for all who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The invitation to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior is open to everyone! Surrender your life to his control and get ready to share His love and forgiveness with everyone you encounter in this life.
BAPTISM
The sacrament of Baptism is available to all of God's children whatever their age!
We offer Baptism to our babies and young children as a sign of God's amazing Grace. It is this Grace of God which reaches out to lay claim to us, forgive all of our sins, and welcome us into the covenant community of faith long before we are able to understand any of this or comprehend the immense magnitude of our need for God's Grace
We also offer Baptism to anyone of any age who has not been baptized so that they might be welcomed into the covenant community of faith. This is done understanding that we are all accepted into the Kingdom of God, only by the Grace of God, not by our good deeds.
Baptism is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Baptism is not administered as a sign of our growth in faith and commitment. Those who were baptized as babies do not need to be baptized again when they finally comprehend their need for forgiveness and that the forgiveness needed can only be obtained through the death of Jesus on the cross. For that step in life we have a Reaffirmation Service or a Confirmation Service.
