Salvation

Baptism

A past life of sin is buried, and a new life of doing right -empowered by the Holy spirit - begins. (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7, Colossians 2:9-12, 1 Peter 3:20-22)

Communion

The Church
- We believe that the Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to save the lost and edify the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)
- We believe that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth to redeem His church. Christians will be joined with Him together in heaven forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
