BAPTISM

Baptism is a wonderful part of the holy sacraments of the church. John the Baptist baptized Jesus with water and Jesus in Matthew 28 called believers to water baptize new converts in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Water baptism is the means by which believers are to identify with Christ. This is not just a mere ceremony done by tradition. Our union with Christ is signified by water baptism (Col 2:11, 12) Baptism is usually held on an as needed basis.If you desire to follow Christ in baptism here at The House of God (THOG) or have questions about baptism, you can contact us at the church office at (706) 256-0354. We are excited that you are considering or have joined with this body of believers as we strive to be the disciples that Jesus has called us to be and witness to all the world of God’s goodness.

 

NEW MEMBERS / NEW CONVERTS

"With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth; the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness" (Isaiah 26:9). This scripture accurately describes the spiritual relationship and zeal we will encourage you to have with God in this ministry. We are committed to teaching you sound, biblical and practical principles, as well as, providing a context for you to help this ministry build God’s kingdom on earth. “You are a walking, talking, breathing, and living miracle.” You have not been through what you have been through for nothing. God’s desire is to transform the “skeletons” in your past, to a “testimony” of His Grace.
