Baptism is a divinely instituted ordinance. It's a washing with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to live a new life. When someone accepts to be baptized, it gives evidence of repentance, faith, and discipleship. Baptism is a sign of a covenant. As the Lord's Supper has replaced the Passover, baptism has replaced circumcision. To have communion, one must be baptized. If you wish to do so, please submit your request.
“Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
A birthday is the celebration of the day a person was born. In this community, we know how big this might be for you. We care about it and how to celebrate it with you. Please let us know if you need any help with our social events service. We are happy to serve you.
“And on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker [by inviting them also] among his servants” (Genesis 40:20)
A wedding ceremony is a worship service. It is one of the families, churches, and communities' most exciting social events. A colorful and successful wedding ceremony requires time and effort well spent on planning. Since a wedding consists of administrative tasks, such as taking care of family and legal obligations, overseeing the work of the church, and being the anointed and professional minister, you need us to help you have the best memories of your one-time event. To get this service from us, contact us for more details.
"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord." (Proverbs 18:20)
People, even Christian believers, view death as a mystery that cannot be fully comprehended. However, the Word of God gives hope, comfort, and support to those who grieve. If you have lost your loved one, what do you need? A funeral or memorial service? And why does this matter to you?
Funeral and Memorial Services
It may surprise you, but it's true. The primary purpose of holding a funeral service points directly to the living, not the dead. It brings comfort and peace to the living and gives their deceased hope for a future life
The difference between a funeral service and a memorial service is this: Every funeral is a memorial service in a sense, but not every memorial service is a funeral service. A funeral service is conducted while the body (casket) of the deceased is present. Families, friends, and others can say "goodbye" to the deceased. This can occur at home, funeral home, church, or graveside. While a memorial service is conducted in the absence of the deceased's body (casket), it generally takes place sometime after the death and disposition (interment) have occurred. It is usually a service specifically to celebrate the deceased's life. This can take place at home or church. When requesting such a service, you understand which one you would be asking for.
"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." (Romans 12:15).
Committal Service
The committal service is the climax of a funeral service. It is marked by committing the body to the ground. "For dust you are, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19b). It is a powerful and deeply emotional moment for both the living and the dead. It marks the end of an earthly relationship. Much more, it commits a soul into the hands of God.
"They buried him in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier covered with spices and various blended perfumes, and they made a huge fire in his honor." (2 Chronicles 16:14).
