I am so thankful though that we found this church and our wonderful pastor! We have known Brother Tom for almost 14 years and once we found out that he was a pastor we started going to that church. I love it! It is smaller church like I grew up in and everyone is so sweet! It just felt like home after the first time! That is always great to find a church like that where you are excited and happy to be going!
I grew up Presbyterian and when I was a baby I was Christened. We always went to church and I really liked it. When I was a teenager I was like a lot of other teenagers and rebelled, didn't really want to go, I still did FCA at school and always did See You at the Pole. I had a friend that went to the baptist church and she always invited me to go to church camp with her. We went to one in Boiling Springs a few times and then we went to Falls Creek. I really loved Falls Creek and loved the way it was there, everyone so loving and praising our Lord! How could you not get something out of it!?! Plus you got to make so many new friends!
I was saved at Falls Creek when I was about 15 years old. It was such a wonderful feeling and I was so happy! When we got back I shared with our Presbyterian church about the trip and decided to get baptized. The way our church did it was by pouring water over your head. So for 20 years I always thought I was baptized. Once we started talking to Brother Tom and he came to visit and asked us if we do believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son and He was sent here to die on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins we both said yes. We have both recently rededicated our lives too. (This is my Story, if you are interested) He asked if we have been baptized by submersion and Shane had when he was younger but I said no. So since I wasn't baptized by submersion I will be doing that soon. I always thought it would be really meaningful to do it that way anyways and was wondering about if I should be baptized again but since Tom put it that way then now I know and I will be! That song Baptism by Kenney Chesney and Randy Travis is so meaningful to me and makes me cry every time I hear it. I just love it!
So I will be letting you all know when we get it set up and how it goes! Hoping it will go well. lol Tom is kinda short, I've always called him my little leprechaun, and I am 6' 1", so it should be interesting!
The little old church where I grew up going to. Sadly it is isn't around anymore.
