BECOMING THE SPIRITUAL LEADER OF YOUR HOME


There is no better way to demonstrate your love for Jesus than getting baptized. Camilia Howell decided to take the plunge. What is even more exciting is her dad, Chris Howell officiated her baptism.

At New Hope, we believe that parents are the spiritual leaders of their household. Therefore, it is their responsibility to prepare their child through baptismal studies. This creates a spiritual bond between both parent and child. Further, it establishes the parent as the spiritual leader of the home. Coached and mentored by Pastor Ann Roda, the parent is empowered to serve as the family pastor.

Chris Howell, Camilia's dad was given the spiritual authority to baptize his daughter. As her mother, Debbie, as church elder looked upon the baptism, she read read scripture and exhorted her daughter to keep the faith as she began her journey with God.

If you would like to be baptized, please don't hesitate. It is the single best decision you will ever make. Contact the church office at 301.854.1866.
