What does it mean to be saved?
Romans 10:9
When we say that we are saved, what do we mean? In short, we are saying that we have accepted Jesus into our hearts. The Bible says, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). By trusting Jesus as your Savior, you will be forgiven of your sins and born into the family of God. We would love to welcome you into the family and help you grow in your relationship with God. If you're ready to accept Jesus, watch this video, follow the instructions and then click the button below to tell us about your decision.
This is the best decision of your life! Welcome to the family!

What is baptism?
Although Jesus knew no sin, Jesus demonstrated to us that baptism is an outward expression of the Spiritual change that takes place when a person receives the free gift of salvation. The Bible tells us we don't get baptized to get saved; rather we are baptized because of relationship with the One who died so we can have eternal life. It is therefore extremely important that baptistm occur after a person has made a consious decesion to repent of their sins and profess their faith in Jesus Christ. You can discuss these areas with us by completing the contact form or call the church at (301) 899-8885 and we will be delighted to speak with you.
