Are you interested in learning about or signing up for baptism? This is the class for you!

Baptism is going public with your faith. It’s a chance for you to share your decision to place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ with your family, friends, and church family – and it gives them the opportunity to celebrate with you.

This short class will be meeting just after the regularly scheduled Sunday service, in front of the baptism pool in the auditorium.
