Although we emphasize the importance of membership within our church, we firmly assert that our ultimate security is not derived solely from organizational affiliation but rather from our profound relationship with Christ.
At Effort Baptist Church, our unwavering mission is to spread the transformative message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Baptism
Baptism is an ordinance of the Lord Jesus, obligatory upon every believer, wherein one is immersed in water in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, as a sign of one’s fellowship with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, of remission of sins, and of giving one up to God, to live and walk in newness of life. It is prerequisite to church membership and to participation in the Lord’s Supper (Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:3-5; 1 Cor. 12:13).
