We believe there are two ordinances of the local church- baptism and communion.  Water baptism by immersion is an outward sign of inward decision to follow Christ personally.  Communion is to be a regular reminder of Christ’s body and blood, death and resurrection that were given to us voluntarily so that we might experience life, hope, love and forgiveness as we eagerly await His return to the earth.  (Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15,16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 9:18; 10:47; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
