🎄✨ Spread Some Holiday Cheer with Tiny Trees! ✨🎄
​What a fantastic idea and a wonderful way to be a blessing to the Sweet Peas of our community! 💖

✝️River Baptisms ✝️

​🌊 A New Chapter Begins at the River 🌊

❣️​"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" — 2 Corinthians 5:17

​There is something truly powerful about the water. As shown in flyer, baptism is more than just a ceremony; it is a public declaration of faith and a beautiful picture of being buried with Christ and raised to walk in a brand-new life!

​Whether you are ready to take this step of obedience yourself or you want to stand in the gap and support others in their walk with Jesus, we invite you to be part of this special day led by Rev. Daniel Strayn and Crystal Presley. We believe that as we head to the river, lives will be changed, hearts will be renewed, and souls will be saved.

​Want to join us?
​Take the Step: If you feel called to be baptized, we would love to celebrate with you!
​Show Support: Come witness the freedom and renewal that only Christ can provide.
​Get Details: Message Ignite Church Maryville on Facebook or call (865) 680-2295 for more information.

​Keep a lookout for our upcoming posts regarding the specific location, date, and time!
​Let’s gather together and celebrate the incredible work God is doing in our community.
