Baby/Child Dedication:
As a church family, we urge parents to present their children before God in a service of dedication. This is most often done within a few days or weeks of the child’s birth. However, children of any age may be presented in this act of dedication.
Rightly understood, this service is really a dedication of the parent(s) before God to rear their child in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord”.
We hold such a service of dedication as a part of our regular Sunday morning worship service as we believe it is something the whole church family should witness and celebrate.
Please call the church office (686-2485) if you would like to schedule a dedication for your child(ren) or if you would like to receive more information.
Communion:
Partaking regularly of The Lord’s Supper (Communion) is one of two ordinances Jesus instituted in the church. The other being Baptism.
The Vineyard of Gillette celebrates Communion on the first Sunday of each month as a part of our regular Sunday morning worship.
There are two requirements for receiving Communion here at The Vineyard:
- You must profess Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord; and
- You must not take communion in an unworthy manner (See 1 Corinthians 11).
Membership, or even regular attendance, is not required to receive Communion here.
Baptism:
Baptism is one of two ordinances Jesus instituted in the church. The other being the receiving of Communion.
The Vineyard of Gillette urges all Believers to be Baptized in accordance to the command of our Lord Jesus. He set the example for us in His own Baptism in the river Jordan by John the Baptist.
Here at The Vineyard, we completely immerse in water, just as Jesus was, as the preferred method. Baptism is not necessary for salvation, however, Jesus commands it for every Believer.
We further hold that Baptism is for an individual who is of an age that permits an adequate understanding of what Baptism symbolizes. Even though a very young child may profess Jesus as Savior, we suggest they attain the age of 7 before requesting Baptism.
Finally, we hold that Baptism is a public, outward demonstration (symbolically through immersion in water) of an individual’s identification with Jesus in His death and resurrection. Hence, the one being baptized puts to death (buries) the old man and rises in newness of life in Christ.
Please call the church office (686-2485) to indicate your interest in being baptized.
