About Us

Baptism and Membership

 
Baptism
Following our Lord's command (Matthew 28:19-20), we baptize those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Every quarter we hold baptisms during our three morning services. Prior to baptism, candidates need to meet with a pastor (accompanied by their parents in the case of children). Here, the significance and mode of baptism are explained, and handouts are used to assist in study and consideration of Scripture. There will also be time to discuss your personal testimony, procedures for the baptismal service and an opportunity for questions, answers and discussion. Please or call 703/525-8210 to schedule an appointment with one of our pastors.
