Seriously, what does Baptism mean though?
Yes, I have seen the pictures of people in a church in a horse trough or a pool-looking thing or some I saw in the river or the ocean and every picture is a church leader saying words like "Do you believe in Jesus?..." the person answering "Yes!" and then they are dunked backward, nose plugged under the water and they come up smiling and then walk away.

What just happened? What does this mean for the church and what does it mean for our relationship with God?
So many questions!

They are ALL GREAT QUESTIONS, this Sunday we break those questions down as our church prepares for Baptism.

Do I have to go to church to be a Christian?

If you have ever wondered if it’s OK to sit at home and watch church in your pajamas with a cuppa coffee while sitting comfortably on your couch that question will be answered this Sunday! We are asking a question that Pastor Joe gets asked often, “do I need to go to church in order to be Christian?“ You might have also heard it asked or stated, “I’m spiritual but not religious” or maybe you have asked before “ Are you non-denominational?”

Hey there! My name is Joe Liles and I am the Pastor who planted The Neighborhood Church along with my wife, Jessica Liles, and 23 faithful people on Easter in 2012. This church was planted with a vision that you could fall in love with faith all over again every Sunday. Our hope was that your kids would have a place where they belong and feel so welcomed that they wake their parents up and say "let's go!" every week! It's true for my family too. Jessica and I have been married for 13 years and we have two kiddos, Caylee (12 years old) and Landen (10 years old). Caylee is an aspiring volleyball player and just starting out on guitar and Landen is a gamer that is working into wrestling and golf (interesting combo dude). We hope that we are able to meet you on an upcoming Sunday in worship!
