Milestones

Baptism
Baptism is a milestone and an act of obedience in a believer’s life. It marks a public commitment in front of the local body of Christ that you have given your life completely to the Lord. Providence Church holds baptism services two times a year, and a baptism class is required to participate in the baptism. If you are interested in following Christ’s example through baptism, contact the church office or watch the bulletin for upcoming baptism classes.

Marriage
God created the family as His agent to accomplish His purpose in Christ, and the foundation of the family is marriage. We believe that the blessings and obligations of marriage are permanent; husbands and wives have joint responsibility for the physical and spiritual well-being of one another and their children. Our policies about marriage grow out of these beliefs.

Since Providence Church provides FOCUS for following Jesus Christ in Christian community, weddings at Providence are reserved for committed followers of Christ who attend Providence regularly and are involved in the life of the congregation.

There are several steps to getting married at Providence Church, and couples are encouraged to contact the church several months in advance to ensure that each step is completed properly.

Child Dedication
Scripture makes it clear that children are a gift from God. At Providence, the dedication of children is just as much the dedication of Christian parents. It is an important step in parenting to publicly dedicate the child to the Lord and publicly commit to raising the child according to Scriptural principles. Our child dedications take place during Sunday morning worship services and are available for members only.

To request a dedication, contact Susan Young at the church office to get a dedication application and to determine a date that will work with Sunday worship.
