DISCOVERING CHRISTWAY
Discovering ChristWay is a comprehensive class, perfect for anyone looking to dive deeper into ChristWay’s beliefs, vision, mission, and ministry philosophy. Whether you’re new to ChristWay or have been attending for a while but haven’t yet taken this step, this is an opportunity to get connected! If you’re already a partner and want to explore our volunteer culture or find your place in a specific ministry, this class is the ideal starting point.
During the class, you’ll have the chance to meet our elders, learn more about our beliefs and mission, tour the campus, and discover opportunities to connect and serve as you hear from our ministry leaders. Learn how you can be involved in applying biblical truth, investing in families, and reaching the world with His love.
Discovering ChristWay Classes are offered 4 times a year. Our next class will be on December 7 at 9:45 AM in The ChristWay Theatre.
BAPTISM
We love to celebrate changed lives. Jesus told us that it's the very next thing we should do after we choose to follow Him. Baptism doesn't save you--doesn't forgive you of sins--because only Jesus can do that, but baptism is a public celebration of that moment when you said, "Jesus, I trust you." You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to have your life together. You just have to follow Him, repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38).
I am determined to obey God’s word. This is among my first acts of obedience.
“And now, why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” Acts 22:19
I personally believe that Jesus died to pay for my sin and rose to offer me new life.
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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.” Romans 6:3-4
I have died to my old life and rise up to a new life surrendered to Jesus. As Jesus rose from the dead to be with the Father, so will I.
“…having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.” Colossians 2:12
I am publicly showing my commitment to be united to Jesus Christ and His community of faith.
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:13
Our preference would be a ChristWay staff minister. Other options might include a ChristWay partner or head of household. Any exceptions would need to be discussed with our elders in advance of the baptism class. In all cases, the person baptizing will need to attend the class as well.
