ST. CHARLES/SOUTH ELGIN
NEXT BAPTISM CELEBRATION: DECEMBER 13 & 14
Baptism is a celebration. It is an opportunity to follow Jesus’ example and teaching by publicly proclaiming our identification with him. By being baptized, we announce that Jesus has washed away our sin and has given us new life. Prior to baptism, participants must attend a one-hour class designed to share the biblical and practical purposes of baptism, to help you discover if baptism is the right step for you.

Our coaches (available for all campuses) can provide a review of your budget, expertise, and encouragement to help you gain some traction in the budgeting process.
WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work.
