Baptism

The Sign of New Life

Baptism is the outward sign of a changed heart. It is a powerful display of the spiritual transformation that happens in the heart of a believer when they repent of sin and place their faith in Christ. The apostle Paul described Christians as having experienced burial "by baptism into death" in order that we might be raised to "walk in newness of life" (Romans 6). If you have placed your faith in Christ and have not yet followed him in baptism, we would love to talk with you about taking that step.

Membership

Become a Part of Our Family

We take membership seriously. Our pastoral leadership makes a concerted effort to shepherd our members well, always striving to know and love them in every season of life. Membership also grants the ability to exercise voting power in our members' meetings and to serve on our ministry teams. Requirements for membership in our church include a credible profession of faith in Jesus, baptism after conversion, and completion of our "Covenant Membership Process," which guides participants through learning about our church's history, doctrine, and practice. If you're interested in joining, reach out to us to find out when our next membership class begins.

Service

Use Your Gifts to Bless Others

If you are a member who is looking to use the gifts and talents God has given you in service of the church, we would love to hear from you! There are a variety of opportunities for ministry at Lucy Baptist Church. We would love to help you find a team that would be a good fit for your gifts and abilities and that would give you an opportunity to serve the Lord with them. Serving others will not only bless others; it will also be a blessing to you.

Community Groups

Go Deeper with Others

Many of our members are part of community groups that gather to build real relationships with one another. These groups meet on Sunday afternoons and evenings, usually in members' homes. They share meals, pray for one another, and study the Bible together. We also encourage these groups to spend time together beyond their regular meetings, whether that's serving in the community, helping one another when a need arises, or simply planning fun outings as a group.

The Good News

Do you know the good news?

God sent his Son, Jesus, to die the death we deserved for our rebellion against him, then raised him from the dead in victory over sin and death. He promises to redeem us and adopt us into his family when we repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus.
