We believe that both Christian baptism and the Lord’s Supper are each a memorial, a symbol and a prophecy. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It shows forth, in solemn and beautiful figure, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, as a picture of our death to sin and resurrection to a new life, that it is required by this church for membership because it is a basic command for all believers to be baptized after being saved; in which born-again believers by the use of bread and fruit of the vine commemorate together the death of Christ, preceded always by solemn self-examinations.
