In October, the pastors will present “The Gospel According to Moses.” This original comparative study of the Book of Deuteronomy and the Gospel of John is sure to inspire.

Baptism 101
Baptism is one of the most important days of a Christian’s life, and presenting a child for baptism is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. Whether you are making this decision for yourself or presenting your child, the pastors of White’s Chapel want to help you understand the meaning and purpose of this sacrament, so you can choose the appropriate time for this life-long commitment. Please join us for Baptism 101 as we explore the church’s understanding of baptism, share some tools for forming your faith in Christ, and share some family practices that will foster your children’s spirituality as they develop their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
