We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God and, as originally written, was verbally inspired and the product of Spirit-controlled men, and therefore has truth without admixture of error for its matter. The pastor and deacons shall oversee the ordinance of baptism by a single immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It sets forth in a beautiful and solemn way our faith in a crucified, buried and risen Savior, and our death to sin and resurrection to a new life.
Baptism is a prerequisite to the privileges of church relation.
Since it is the Lord's Table, none who are His shall be barred, but the pastor shall frequently state the scriptural order, which places baptism as a prerequisite to communion, and shall explain the meaning of the ordinance. Believers who, through no fault of their own, are unable to participate in the public observance of the Lord's Supper may request private administration of the ordinance at a time and place of mutual convenience.
