Communion is more than a religious ceremony or mid service snack. The elements, the bread and wine or juice , are not magical but memorable. They remind us of all that Jesus did to provide a way back to God for us, and our responsibility and focus as his church. They serve as symbols, expressing our sharing the divine nature of Jesus Christ.

Baptism is the public declaration of our faith in Jesus and decision to follow him through being immersed in water. The bible teaches us that every follower of Jesus should take this important step in their faith. Baptism does not save us and it is not required to be saved. Baptism solidifies publicly what we have decided personally; to follow Jesus. We symbolically die with Jesus as we are immersed in the water and are raised to life with him as we come out of the water. It is a powerful and life changing experience.
