We will be worshiping with Rachel Kneebone and learning from our awesome speaker, Ginger Harrington, about what it means to Thrive in the Christian life as we find our identity in Christ! Click here to sign up for an amazing 2-night, 4-meal getaway and come home renewed, refreshed and ready to THRIVE!

Baptism is a symbol of our new life and relationship with Jesus. It is our first step of obedience after deciding to follow Him. The act of baptism is a public identification that one is a follower of Jesus (Romans 6:3-4). It proclaims to others our love and commitment to Him.

There is an opportunity for you, if you have not yet, to proclaim your love and commitment to Jesus through baptism coming up March 21-22, 2020. If you are interested in taking this next step and being baptized, let us know by clicking here OR check out the baptism page on our website www.mvccfrederick.com/baptism for more info.
