Baptism
One Sunday Each Month
 Baptism is very special. It is part of a person's faith journey. Jesus, in His great commission commanded his disciples to go into all the world making disciples and baptizing them. Baptism is a part of the plan of our Lord.
The church sees baptism as an act of obedience. After having received Jesus as personal savior, a person should be baptized. The church schedules baptism services each month. If you wish to be baptized, contact the church office at (630) 983-3232 or contact Rick Pierson for more information.
The requirements for being baptized are that a person has received Jesus Christ as personal savior, attend an informational session at which time we go over the biblical basis of baptism, and write a brief-one-minute--testimony of having faith in Christ.
