Ordinances

We believe that the life and grace of the Lord Jesus is attested in three significant ordinances which the Church is called upon to practice: (1)Baptism (celebrating a believer's coming to faith and life under the Holy Spirit), (2) Communion (celebrating the Lord's gift of grace through His victory over sin, death, and the grave), and, (3) Foot washing (celebrating the Church's call to servant leadership).
