Baptism & Membership

Baptism

As Anabaptists, we believe that baptism is a public declaration of a choice to follow Jesus Christ. We hold baptisms throughout the year and encourage people, both young and old, to take this step after personally committing their life to Jesus Christ.

To be baptized at South Abbotsford Church, you will be part of a baptism class that covers topics such as:

* new life in Christ
* growing in Christ
* communion
* baptism
* what happens when someone is saved
* writing and presenting your testimony

You will also be part of a membership class that will discuss:

* introduction to our history and current staff
* our mission, covenant statements, core ministry values and vision
* living together in a new family
* Mennonite Brethren heritage
* out statement of faith
* our ministry structure
* spiritual gifts and ministries

For more information, please email Jake or Anne Dyck or call 604-853-2663.

We will be planning our next baptism services for June 21 & 22.
Please pick up an application form from the Info Booth and return to the church office by June 1st.
Baptism class is on June 9th, 6pm at 2280 Bevan Ct, Jake & Anne's home and Membership Transfer class joins at 7:30.
Monday, June 16th is an evening for baptismal candidates to meet with the deacons.
