Baptism
Baptism is a public declaration that we have been made new in Christ. It represents that the old self is dead (buried as you are submerged in water) and raised to life in Christ (as you come back up out). We have baptisms 3-4 Sunday's a month.
Holy Communion
We participate in communion together the first Sunday of every month. We take it together during every intercessory prayer times in our prayer room, which take place 3 times a week.
Three Elements That Are Woven Into Everything We Do
Worship
We are made to worship God. Worship is a lifestyle, not a genre of music or singing songs to God (although that is part of it). Romans 12:1 tells us "to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to the Lord. This is our spiritual act of worship." Worship is a daily surrenderer to the Lord. As a congregation we want to connect people to God through an authentic heart of worship; the body of Christ surrendering through obedience to the Lord!
Word
The Bible is to be believed, obeyed, and trusted in all matters of life. The Scriptures are revealed so we may know who God is and what He is like.
We open the Word of God together to learn, be encouraged, gain wisdom, be corrected and to discover God's heart and will.
Prayer
Prayer changes situations, relationships and people, even entire cultures.
Jesus said "My house shall be called a House of Prayer." (Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, Isaiah 56:7) We believe this is an important part of being the body together. Therefore, we take time on a Sunday morning to pray together. During our service, we will often break into small groups (as awkward as that may sound, it is not so bad once you do it) to agree together in Jesus Name.
Our Desire As A Church Body is to Do Life Together
With such a wide range of families at Reliance, there is a place to belong for everyone... this includes you :)
We don't want to be a church that you come and go, and no one knows your name. Sunday mornings are always a great time to connect but we believe there is more to being the body of Christ than coming to a large gathering once a week. Our goal is that every person gets involved in a House Church. House Churches are a way to get challenged in the word and have people help you live it out.
