What do we believe about the Lord’s Supper? We
believe in Jesus and His Word when He says, “This is My Body” and “This is My Blood given and shed for you for the
forgiveness of your sins.” We
believe that we receive the true body and blood of Jesus in, with, and under the bread and wine when we eat the bread
and drink the wine of the Lord’s Supper. Jesus also says, “Do this in
remembrance of me.” As we partake of His Body and Blood, we are proclaiming the Lord's death and resurrection as we await His 2nd coming.
What is Baptism? Baptism is a gift of
God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) in which He gives us faith in Him. He
connects the baptized to the benefits of Jesus’ perfect life, sacrificial death
on the cross and victorious resurrection. He calls the baptized by name and
says, “You are mine!” He gifts us with forgiveness, abundant life, and
the promise of paradise in heaven. And, He promises to be with us; not
against us, but present and on our side now and forever.
