Baptism

Jesus stated in the Great Commission “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Mathew 28:19). Scripture teaches that baptism is done as a profession of faith and in obedience to our Lord’s command. We believe that water baptism by immersion is the next step for a person who has received Jesus Christ as Savior and is committed to following Christ.

We will be performing baptisms throughout the year – please contact the church office for more information.

If you are interested in being baptized please complete the Baptism Testimony Sheet or call the church office. We will contact you to confirm receipt and set up a time for your baptism.

Communion

Jesus’ Last Supper, the Passover meal He shared with His disciples on the night before He was crucified, is the biblical foundation for the Communion meal celebrated in His honor by Christians all over the world today. With His twelve friends gathered around Him for the traditional Jewish Passover meal, Jesus “took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you'” (Luke 22:19–20).

Communion is a celebration of the miracle of our new life that we have in Christ through His death that paid for our sins. It is a remembrance of what Jesus did that shapes how we live today in relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Communion is taken during our Sunday morning worship services on the first and third weekend of each month. All believers in Jesus Christ are welcome to take Communion at River of Life.

Child Dedication

PARENTS PARTNERING WITH GOD AS THEY RAISE THEIR CHILDREN.

River of Life believes children are a gift from God, and we are very excited that you are investigating child dedication.

Child dedication is a public commitment you make before God, your church, and your family. The dedication service provides you, the parent(s), an opportunity to express publicly your desire to lead and spiritually nurture your child in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, so your child will develop a desire to love God and love others. The church also commits to serve you in this great endeavor, and the leadership of the church will pray over you and your family during the dedication.

Child dedications are held during our Sunday morning worship services. For dates and details of the next child dedication, please contact the church office.
