Water Baptism

  • Mercy Hill Church 3120 S Lake Dr Milwaukee, WI, 53235 United States (map)

Baptism is an important part of the Christian walk and an important moment in the life of the church. Come out and support those making the declaration to follow Christ!

 

We'll head over to Bay View Beach at 12:30PM. Lunch will be served around 12:45PM and we'll plan to start the baptism sometime after that.  

The following blogs will give insight into Mercy Hill Church's position on water baptism.

He went on to command in Matthew 28 that Christians should go into the world, preach the Gospel and baptize believers.
