The elders and ministers of our church are responsible to God for the doctrine we teach. Their interest is in leading our people to lives of godliness and growth in Christ.
The position our church has taken is that baptism was an ordinance in the New Testament church. Everyone who accepted Christ was baptized. As a modern-day church seeking to return to Biblical standards, we simply feel that we should “do what they did” and “teach what they taught” in the scriptures. Baptism is too important a doctrine to be compromised. We realize that not everyone agrees as to its importance, but again, as leaders, we are called to shepherd as best we know how. Thus, we believe that members of our Church should hold an elevated view of baptism.
