Napier Baptist

The significance of what God's doing in a local church can often fly under the radar - I think God quite likes it that way. It's not until it's brought front and centre that you realise the significance of what's going on under your nose in a local church. Last Sunday we welcomed 14 people into membership at Napier Baptist and dedicated 7 children to God.

In membership we covenanted together:

As Baptist Christians we covenant together as a community of the disciples of Jesus Christ. Baptised into his name, we share the joys and responsibilities of fellowship: we gather for worship and to discern the mind of Christ; together we seek the kingdom of God through prayer, witness and service; and in the power of the Holy Spirit we seek to build one another up in love. Will you share with us in this common life and service, and will you walk together with us before God, in ways that are known and yet to be made known?

And importantly in our church we covenanted to "walk in the ways of the Lord, together, no matter what and to watch over one another in love."

It was great to see publicly what God has been doing under the radar for a long time.
