BAPTIZED IN THE LORD

Baptism at St. Mark

Baptism was commanded by Jesus Himself, in Matthew 28:19-20, when He said,

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commandeed you...."

If you are interested in exploring baptism for yourself or for your child, we encourage you to meet with the pastor to learn more. Please contact the church office to make an appointment.

Feeling Lost? Wondering if God is There?

In a confusing world, it can feel impossible to connect with God. But the good news is—God is already reaching out to you. He did this most powerfully through Jesus Christ, who lived, loved, and died to restore our broken relationship with Him.

GodConnects is a free video course that explores who God is, what the Bible says, and how His love gives purpose to your life—today and forever. Start your journey at lhm.org/godconnects.
