BAPTISM
Baptism is an exciting step of faith!
It is public declaration that you are deciding to follow Jesus. This is a great step in your faith journey and it gives you a chance to show your family, friends and neighbours what is important to you.
We would love to have a conversation with you about what baptism looks like and how we can get you started in this journey!
If you have questions about baptism and would like to take this step, e-mail the church office at info@eefc.ca and we'll get right back to you!
