Accepting Jesus as Your Savior & BAPTISM
FIRST THINGS FIRST: Making a decision for Christ.
We are excited that you are exploring who Jesus Christ is! If you are brand new to the Christian faith and would like to speak to a Pastor first to ask questions, please fill out the form below!
Here is the pattern we see in the New Testament every single time:
1) A person recognizes they are a sinner that needs forgiveness, and
professes their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then commits their life to God.
2) Then the person is baptized. There isn’t a single instance in scripture where a person was baptized first and then later on asked Jesus into his life. We follow what we see in scripture which is immersion baptism. For the first 1300 years of Christianity, the only form of baptism practiced was by full immersion.
Please tap on the button below if you are ready to be baptized! The Bible says that all professing Christians should be baptized (Matthew 28:18-20). Whether you've been following Jesus for a long time and never got baptized or are a new Christian, we would be honored to baptize you!
Baby & Child Dedication
Through the year we offer special Dedication Sundays. Those Sundays are an amazing opportunity to have your child dedicated during one of our services. Child dedication is the act of coming before the church and declaring that you will raise your son or daughter in the ways of the Lord. Any age child can be dedicated. Before the service on dedication Sunday, we will have a time of connecting and growing for you and your little one. For more information about having your child dedicated please contact our Children's Pastor Mike Wilder mike@gowoodland.com
