authority is taken directly from the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ

for each Believer, while the Lord's Supper is conducted on the first
Sunday of each month.

immersion. If you are a Believer and wish to be Baptized,
applications are available in the Church Foyer. Once submitted,

Supper)?
Our Church does not limit participation in the Lord's Supper to members

Christ is asked to refrain. In addition, any member or guest who
has unconfessed sin is also asked to refrain.
