Special Occasions

Baptisms, Communion & Celebrations

Baptism

Believers' baptism is administered following a period of instruction (typically 6 months). Candidates who confess faith in Jesus Christ and have been discipled are baptised publicly before the congregation. Contact the pastors to begin the process.

Holy Communion

The Lord's Supper is celebrated regularly as a congregation. All baptised believers who are in right relationship with God and the community are welcomed to participate.

Foot Washing

Following the Anabaptist tradition, foot washing is practised as a sign of servant-hood and humility. This ordinance is part of our special observance services, expressing the teaching of Christ in John 13.
