"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." Romans 6:4
Baptism is a picture of that good news. Going under the water shows being buried with Christ; coming up shows being raised with Him to new life. It doesn't make anyone a Christian. It shows, in front of the church, what Jesus has already done in someone who has trusted Him.
On Sunday, November 15, Grace Community Church will celebrate baptisms during the 11:00 AM worship service. If you have trusted Christ and have not been baptized as a believer, or you are thinking about making Grace Community Church your church home, here is the path:
Sunday, November 8, 12:30 PM: New Members Class in Room 7, with lunch right after worship
Wednesday, November 11, 6:30 PM: Baptism class in Pastor Brandon's office
Sunday, November 15, 11:00 AM: Baptism Sunday
