Baptism is a gift. It is not a legal requirement to meet, a technical ritual to perform, a test to pass or fail, or a strict command to obey just right. It is a gracious gift from God. Baptism is the way to accept and experience everything God longs to give you through Christ.

The focus is not on what WE do in baptism but what GOD is doing. If you or someone you know has never received the gift of baptism, GCR is inviting you to be baptized on Baptism Sunday.

Following the sermon on May 17, all who have never been baptized are invited to receive baptism in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of God’s Holy Spirit.

If you would like to be baptized at GCR on Baptism Sunday or want to know more about baptisms, click below.

Easter is the celebration of the moment when the light of God broke through the deepest darkness the world had ever known.
