Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)

Join us on Sunday, August 24 during either worship service for the first week in our current sermon series – A Line of Grace, preached by Pastor Mike Hafer.
Baptismal Font: Entrance to Grace
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” Romans 6:3-4
The font, placed nearest the door, reminds us how we enter the life of the Church—not by our own doing, but through God’s gracious action in Baptism. It is the place of rebirth, where God names us His own, buries our sin, and raises us with Christ. Every step beyond the font reflects a life that flows from that moment of grace.
