We believe that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordained by the Lord Jesus himself. The former is connected with entrance into the new covenant community, the latter with ongoing covenant renewal. Together they are simultaneously God’s pledge to us, divinely ordained means of grace, our public vows of submission to the once crucified and now resurrected Christ, and anticipations of his return and of the consummation of all things.
Crossroads Christian Church practices and teaches water baptism by immersion for believers in Jesus as a symbol of one’s union with Christ through faith in his death and resurrection.
