We are baptizing this Sunday! That always gets me excited. Baptism is the public display of the new birth we experience in Christ when we place our trust in him. It is also the entry point into the church. At baptism, we public confess Christ, and we public join the Church--the Body of Christ. Here are a couple videos from the Gospel Coalition about baptism:

1. Spontaneous Baptism - Should we baptize on the spot when someone confesses Christ?

2. Should be baptize infants or adults? This is a very important question. This video has a very peaceful discussion between Ligon Duncan (Presbyterian) and Thabiti Anyabwile (Baptist) on the topic. We are Baptists.

Baptism This Week

Post date: Wednesday, May 2, 2012 - 17:01 Author: cirlot

We are baptizing again this Sunday (May 6th). We don't have the pavilions reserved this time, so here is the game plan:

We will have services as normal (11am). We usually finish around 12:15. We don't have to tear down this week, so we should be able to get away for lunch quickly. We will all go to lunch somewhere and then meet back at the Gautier City park at 1:15pm for the baptism.

I hope you can all attend the baptism after the service. It is always encouraging to see the public demonstration of what faith in Christ looks like. We die to the old like and are raised to new life.

New Creations

Post date: Monday, April 16, 2012 - 22:27 Author: cirlot

Last Sunday we baptized two people at the Gautier City Park. I must say that baptisms get me stirred up more than just about anything else that we do. I hope that we can keep a steady line of people going into the river. I believe that God has a plan for Gautier. There are lots of people here who need to hear and experience the Gospel.

Our mission is simple. We have a message of hope. We spend time around people every day that need that hope. Let's join together and reach this community.

Baptismal Service

Post date: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 15:14 Author: Bryan Cirlot

We are having some baptisms in a few weeks. That makes me get really excited. Baptism is our public image for salvation. We are crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20). We die to ourselves and our former lives (Rom. 6:11). And we raise to new life in Christ (Rom. 6:4). I hope you can come to our service. Here are our plans:

Date: April 15th

Time: 1:00pm (ish)

Place: Gautier City Park

We will have our regular service at 11 at the MGCCC BSU building. After the service concludes, we will all head to the park for the baptisms. We will eat lunch, fellowship, and then head to the river. Everyone is invited and I hope you bring a friend.

If your interested in getting baptized or want to know more about what it means, talk to Pastor Bryan at one of our services.
