Down by the River

Faith Church is a church plant in Nashville and we meet at the YMCA. We don't have walls that make up Faith Church. We don't have our own building for offices; we don't have a playground or our own gymnasium; we don't even have a sancutary. But, we are a body of believers that make up the church and that reminder is even sweeter on days like Sunday.

We had our annual baptism celebration this past Sunday evening. Since our family moved to Nashville last October we hadn't attended a Down by the River Celebration. What a blessing!

The whole service was worshipful and a time of celebration but there was one thing that was done that was very meaningful. Before each person got baptized they faced the congregation and gave their testimony of how God saved them from their sin and drew them to Himself. As each person stood in the baptismal river waters someone on the bank read Scripture over them. The person reading was a parent, close friend, or spouse which made it very personal and emotional.

We serve an awesome God and it was great to see evidence of His work in the lives of others.






















As you can tell the boys had a great time at the river. In fact, Brandon has asked a couple times since, "Play in the river?"
