Christian baptism, according to the Bible, is an outward testimony of what has occurred inwardly in a believer’s life. Christian baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible declares, “Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:3-4 NIV). In Christian baptism, the action of being immersed in the water pictures being buried with Christ. The action of coming out of the water pictures Christ’s resurrection.

In Christian baptism, there should be two requirements before a person is baptized: (1) the person being baptized must have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior, and (2) the person must understand what baptism signifies.  If a person knows the Lord Jesus as Savior, understands that Christian baptism is a step of obedience in publicly proclaiming his faith in Christ, and desires to be baptized – then there is no reason to prevent the believer from being baptized. According to the Bible, Christian baptism is simply a step of obedience, a public proclamation of one’s faith in Christ alone for salvation. Christian baptism is important because it is a step of obedience – publicly declaring faith in Christ and commitment to Him, and identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And God added to their number daily those who were being saved.”  Acts 2:42 - 2:47

Life Groups are a vital part of the Vision of Frontline. The people of the "Acts Church" met in their homes to break bread with each other and share and discuss the scriptures.  It’s a wonderful and exciting way to grow in our relationship with God.

Life Groups meet throughout the week in people's homes, in small groups (12 to 15 people) called Cells.  This provides an easy setting to get together, form great relationships and apply biblical principles to our lives. 

Although we recognize that people have different gifts and strengths, we believe that everyone is called to fulfill the great commission set out in Matthew 28, to share the good news of Jesus Christ.  Pastor Rick Rocco has always known how important it is to train up people in biblical principles.  And we see that goal being met.

If you're a member of Frontline Christian Church and are interested in becoming a Life Group facilitator, you can call the church office and speak with Lisa Rocco or Emily Baxter.

Let's not miss out on the incredible tool of meeting in each other’s homes, to grow and become more like Christ!

Missions, simply put, is bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who don't know Him as their Lord and Savior. It knows no limits in territory, people, places, or methods used to reach those who are lost.

During our "Developing a Servants Heart" series we learned that, God's call to each individual is unique. He uses their upbringing, surrounding environment, and experiences and couples them with His vision, goals and desires, to shape them into a unique tool for His hands to mold and guide and use. Eph 4:10 says that, "we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which He prepared in advance for us to do."

Matthew 28:18-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age."  

God's Command, to Love Him and Love Others, drives us towards His Commission to Go, Make Disciples, Baptize, and Teach, which is enabled by His Power and His Presence.

Why do we go on mission trips?
To reach the lost for Jesus and to train participants how to hear God's voice and to have a heart for the lost. We are not only trying to reach this generation of lost people, but trying to disciple other Christians, especially youth, to reach the lost until Christ returns.
