Lake Michigan Baptism
Have you been thinking about taking the next step in your faith through baptism?
On Sunday, August 2, we’ll gather at Lake Michigan for a special evening celebrating life change through baptism. This year’s theme comes from John 6:20, where Jesus says, “I Am Here.” No matter your story, Jesus is present, inviting you to trust Him and follow Him.
Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ and an important step of obedience. Children interested in baptism should be at least 8 years old to ensure they understand their decision to follow Jesus.
If you’re ready to be baptized, we invite you to attend one of our baptism classes to learn more about the meaning of baptism and what to expect.
Baptism Classes
• Eau Claire – July 12 at 12:00 PM
• Benton Heights – July 19 at 12:00 PM
• Stevensville – July 26 at 12:00 PM
• St. Joseph – July 19 at 12:30 PM or July 21 at 6:00 PM
Whether you’ve recently given your life to Christ or have been considering baptism for some time, we’d love to walk alongside you in this next step. Click below to register. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at Lake Michigan Baptism!
The Bridge: A Ministry of First Church & The Restoration House
We’re excited to announce The Bridge, a new Restoration House ministry home made possible through the generous donation of a house to our program.
The Bridge will provide housing for 3–4 men who are ready to take the next step after completing The Restoration House program. This transitional home offers a safe place to live while residents continue building independence through accountability, employment, life skills, and ongoing support.
We hope to welcome our first residents by the end of July, and you can help make that possible!
We’re currently furnishing the home and invite you to support this ministry by purchasing needed items from our Amazon Wish List. Every gift helps create a comfortable, welcoming home and provides a strong foundation for men as they move toward lasting stability and restored lives.
Thank you for partnering with us to help restore hope, one life at a time.
