The church plant in Santa Ana celebrated their first baptisms this past Sunday. Thank you for sending your friends, offering your prayers, and giving your support. God is using all of it to advance the gospel among people who we would never reach in Orange.
On Sunday we watched as two precious people made public commitments to Jesus Christ. We are grateful God has saved them. We are grateful they are among us.
Baptism is the outward sign of an inward change, a heart that has been made alive by the power of God. Baptisms please God, encourage the church, and proclaim the gospel to those who don't yet trust in Christ.
We will be holding a baptism immediately following our service this Sunday, July 1st.
If you have believed in Jesus but have never been baptized then take advantage of this opportunity to confess your faith publicly. Learn more about baptism and fill out the form ASAP. A pastor will be in touch to make sure you're ready.
As a church body we witnessed Sam's baptism this past Sunday. By God's power she has been united to Christ and to our church. What a privilege to walk alongside her in newness of life.
"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." Rom. 6:4
