The Gospel-Centered Life is a nine lesson study intended to help participants understand how the gospel shapes every aspect of life. Each lesson is self-contained, featuring clear teaching from scripture, and requires no extra work outside of the group setting.

Everyone is invited. The study materials will be available at each class.

The mission of Cleansing Stream Ministries is to partner with pastors and churches in teaching and training leaders and maturing believers in personal cleansing, deliverance and spiritual warfare so they can be released to serve, minister and disciple others in the Body of Christ.

The in-depth discipleship consists of two parts. The seminar series and the retreat. The seminar series consists of ten weeks of teachings and ministry, laying the groundwork for the freedom. The retreat will be centered around worship and prayer for inner healing and the freedom.

Grace Chapel offers the seminar series in the Fall of each year. The next seminar begins Wednesday, September 1, at 6:30 PM. The next retreat is scheduled for November 5-6.

To register or to get more information visit our table in the lobby on Sunday mornings at Grace Chapel or contact Emilie Leon.

The Kids Church team is having an open house for 1st-6th graders and their parents right after church on August 29. Join us for lunch and a short presentation so we can get to know each other better.

Water baptism is an important step in your Christian walk. If you have trusted Christ for your salvation but have not been baptized, make plans to do so as soon as possible.

Here are answers to some common questions about baptism adapted from "Baptism: An explanation of believer baptism and refutation of contrary beliefs" by Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle.

Q: What is baptism?

A: Baptism is the Christian act of immersing a believer under water and then bringing him forth out of the water. It is a practical representation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as the person being baptized is plunged beneath the waters and brought forth in the same way that Jesus was buried in the earth and resurrected on their behalf in forgiveness of their sins (Romans 6:1-10; Colossians 2:12). Baptism identified a Christian with Jesus (Acts 10:48; Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:27), the universal church (1 Corinthians 12:13), and the local church (Acts 2:41).

Q: Why should Christians be baptized?

A: Jesus commanded that all Christians be baptized (Matthew 28:19). His apostles also commanded that all Christians be baptized (Acts 2:38). Therefore, Christians should be baptized because their God and His servants command it.

Q: Who should be baptized?

A: First, John the Baptizer required that people repent of sin before they could be baptized (Matthew 3:2, 6; Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3). Therefore, only Christians who have repented of sin should be baptized. Second, every baptism in the New Testament is preceded by repentance of sin and faith in Jesus (Acts 2:38-41; Acts 2:41; Acts 8:12; Acts 9:18-19; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 16:14-15, 40; Acts 16:29-36; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:1-7; Acts 22:16). Therefore, only Christians who have repented of sin and have trusted in Jesus should be baptized. Third, baptism is reserved solely for people who have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27). Therefore, only those who are Christians should be baptized. In summary, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus are the marks of a Christian. And all Christians are commanded to be baptized in order to identify themselves with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Subsequently, no one but a Christian should be baptized, and this excludes all non-Christians and children who are too young to demonstrate repentance and articulate faith.

Q: May I be baptized if I have previously been baptized?

A: Once someone has been baptized there is no need for him to be baptized again (Ephesians 4:5). The only exception to this is if someone was baptized as a non-Christian and desires to profess his faith and be baptized as a Christian (Acts 19:1-5). This exception would include people who were baptized in cults and heretical churches, as well as those baptized as infants at the request of their parents. We do not require that those who were baptized as children be re-baptized as believing adults, but leave this decision to the conscience of each Christian.

Q: Do members have to be baptized?

A: Since Jesus commands that all of his disciples be baptized, baptism is a requirement for all Grace Chapel members (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:48; 1 Peter 3:21). If you've already been baptized since you became a Christian, you don't need to get re-baptized.

If you would like to be baptized, publicly celebrating your new life in Christ and His cleansing work in your heart, please attend our baptism class on Sunday, August 15, at 9 AM.
