Baptism is an opportunity for you to make your faith in Jesus public. It’s simply an outward display of an inward decision you’ve made to follow Jesus with your life and giving it over to Him. Baptism is a symbol of how Jesus washes us clean and we receive new life through Him (Romans 6:4 & 2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus took on the penalty of our sin by dying on the cross, so now through a relationship with Him, we are made right with God. Instead of our sins, when God sees us, He sees His son who died for our sins! When we are submerged in the water, that’s like a representation of our old life before Christ. When we come out of the water, that’s a representation of a new life with Jesus – we are washed clean and made new!


God has given parents the most influence in their children's lives, and dedicating your child is a way to commit to modeling what it means to follow Jesus. This doesn’t mean that you’re going to be perfect – no one is! – but it does mean that you’re going to give them opportunities to explore who Jesus is. So it’s really more about your role as parents than it is your children. Dedicating your child is a way to commit to teaching your kids what it means to follow Jesus in front of God and your faith community. It is our prayer that these children will one day grow up to accept and know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Volunteering at Blue Ridge helps you discover where your passions and gifts truly connect, giving you a place to serve that feels meaningful and life-giving. It creates community as you meet others, work together, and play a part in helping people find and follow Jesus. Along the way, serving doesn’t just impact others – it helps you grow in your own faith and purpose, too.


At Blue Ridge, we believe life is best done together, and groups are where a larger church starts to feel small as you build meaningful relationships. Through shared interests and real conversations, groups help you grow spiritually and do life alongside people who truly know you. It’s a place to belong, be encouraged, and move forward in faith together.
