We believe that God has given the church two ordinances, baptism and communion. Baptism is the water immersion of a believer in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and is a public identification of belief in Christ. It displays the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and is symbolic of the believer's new life in Christ. Communion is a regular reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus. As we partake of the bread and cup we are reminded of how the body of Jesus was broken and his blood was shed for us so that our sin could be forever forgiven, that we are now one body in Christ, and we are eagerly waiting for the marriage supper of the Lamb.
