Ordinances

Baptism: A person who receives Jesus Christ as Savior by personal faith, who professes him publicly at any worship service, and who indicates a commitment to follow Christ as Lord, shall be received for baptism. Baptism shall be by immersion in water. 
 
   Romans 6: 3-5 (The Message)
That’s what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we’re going in our new grace-sovereign country.


Communion: The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine, commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and anticipate His second coming. We celebrate Communion every Sunday during worship. 
   
   Luke 22: 19-20 (NIV)
He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”   In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
   Acts 2:42 (NIV)
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.


Worship: The church shall meet each Sunday morning for worship. 
                                            Numbers 28: 25 (NIV)
                 On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
   
​   Hebrews 12: 28 (NLT)
Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by ​​worshiping him with holy fear and awe.

   Hebrews 10: 24-25 (NLT)
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
