Invitation to Baptism
Everyone is invited to consider a life-long commitment to Jesus Christ, expressed through discipleship in the Community of Christ.
To follow Jesus Christ, we must become disciples. Christians are called to be more than just a name. Disciples are people whose lives are transformed as they continually seek to pattern their lives after the example and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Becoming a disciple in the Community of Christ begins with these steps:
- Listen within yourself for the call of Jesus Christ in your life.
- Be involved with a congregation, participating in activities that help you learn, grow, and serve others.
- Learn more about the gospel and the church by talking with a minister or member who can help you more fully understand and respond to the call of Jesus Christ in your life.
- Talk with your congregational pastor about your desire to be baptised into the fellowship of the body of Christ. Arrangements will be made to celebrate this very important decision.
Following baptism and confirmation you are invited to continue sharing fully in the life of your congregation, experiencing activities designed to move you forward in your discipleship. Expectations for membership would include:
- Share your witness and resources
- WorshipBe involved
- Learn
- Be a peacemaker
