Spring All-Church Baptism Celebration
We will be baptizing people on Sunday, April 22, in the main auditorium during both services.
If you haven’t been baptized since giving your life to Christ, we encourage you to prayerfully consider doing so. Baptism is not necessary for eternal life, but it is making a public statement that you are a follower of Christ and have been saved by grace. Contact Kelli McGill (kmcgill@efree.org) for information on baptism for elementary-aged students, Carla Rupkey (crupkey@efree.org) for information on baptism for junior and senior high students, or Marcia Grass (mgrass@efree.org) for information on baptism for adults. You can also sign-up at the Information Center or talk to Nathan after service.
