Stepping Stones
Journey is a common metaphor for spiritual growth and maturity. A spiritual journey takes a lifetime but is made one step at a time. Here are some of the best first steps you can take!

Baptism
Baptism is a vital first step of obedience to following Jesus. Like a wedding ring is a fitting symbol for marriage because it is made from precious metal and a circle without end, baptism is a fitting symbol for new life in Jesus.
When someone is baptized they are fully immersed under the water (symbolic of Jesus' sacrificial death and burial) and then raised from the water (symbolic of Jesus' resurrection). It is a beautiful picture of what Jesus has done for us so that we are now clean, forgiven, free and alive!
If you are ready to go public with your faith in Jesus, let us know! We'll reach out to you and make sure you have all the information you need to take this step!
We hold a couple of baptism services throughout the year.
Our next Baptism is: Sunday, August 25 immediately following the worship service at the home/pool of Chris and Laura Yorba. Address: 10 Weissinger Road, Kingston, 30145

Ministry Team
Jesus made a statement once that often comes to mind when driving by the cotton fields in the fall. He said, "The fields are white unto harvest! " What he was saying was that people are ready to hear the good news about God, forgiveness, grace, freedom and obedience.
He invites those who love him to become like him and to become servants. Every believer has been given a spiritual gift to be used in the process of making disciples of all nations.
Do you know your gift? Do you know your role?
One of the best ways that you can begin to grow as a disciple is to find a place to serve and give your best energy and effort to serve with others on a ministry team!
