Welcome to our Order of Service page! Each week, a team of pastors and staff get together to collaborate on the liturgy, or order of service, for Sunday. Every element is prayerfully and carefully crafted so that the Gospel, God’s redemptive story to save a people for Himself in and through His Son Jesus Christ, would be clear and compelling. We hope you’ll enjoy following along with us as we present and rehearse the Gospel again this morning.

The Simple Sermon
“The religious leaders that Jesus has been engaging continue their questions, not to learn, but to try and stump Jesus. But, as the master communicator, Jesus turns their guile into a demonstration of the beauty of knowing and following him.”
Why do we baptize believers?
We baptize followers of Jesus because He commanded his followers to be baptized, by his authority, and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-20)
The water is not divine nor spiritually advantageous to the believer, rather baptism is a demonstration of obedience, and a dramatization of salvation. For the witnessing church family, it’s a reminder of the power of the gospel that saved the believer into the life of Christ. (1 Peter 3:21)
The Grace Family observes and receives the one being baptized into the fellowship, recognizing that the declaration of salvation through baptism corresponds to membership into our church family. (1 Corinthians 12:13)
