her believers.

Let's Go Down to the River!

"Go therefore and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!"

Glory to God! Our church is excited to see God's hand at work as he has brought restoration to several souls and families. At the conclusion of our morning service, we went good ole' John the Baptist style and baptized 8 souls in the river! What a glorious time it was, as we heard testimonies of God touching lives that have made a decision to follow Him, and want to make that next step of obedience in baptism.
