Who is Jesus

Jesus is the Son of God, equal with God and reigning with authority over everything in heaven and on earth.  He came to the earth as a man, lived a sinless life, was killed at the hands of godless men, and rose from the dead never to die again.

He resides in heaven preparing a home for those who love Him and speaking on their behalf to God the Father. Jesus is more that a system, a tradition, or a belief.  He is a Person who knows our needs, feels our pain, and sympathizes with our weakness.  In exchange for our trust, He offers to forgive our sins, to intercede for us, and to bring us to His Father.

He died for us and rose from the dead to show that He is all He claimed to be.  Conquering death, He showed us that He can save us from our sins, live His life through us on earth, and then bring us safely to heaven.

Jesus offers Himself as a gift to anyone who will trust and follow Him..

What is baptism

Baptism is a momentous step in every believer’s life.  It is a sign and a seal of everything God gives us in salvation. Baptism signifies the washing away of sins, identifying with Christ in His death and resurrection, the initiation into His Church and so much more.  Baptism is a public confession of faith in Christ and signifies your entrance into the New Covenant.

At Dunamis we practice full-immersion baptism.   A baptismal is set up at the front of the sanctuary and each person baptized is placed fully under the water. (We try to do things just as they did in the Bible.)  If the person being baptized cannot be fully immersed in water because of physical disability – we will make accommodations.

The Baptism services at Dunamis are a celebration!  We baptize each one during the worship time at the beginning of service.  Friends and family are free to move up close to the baptismal to celebrate with those being baptized and take pictures if they like.  Members of the Dunamis Fire Prayer Team pray with and bless those being baptized immediately.  Family and friends are encouraged to join in the prayer.

At Dunamis we do not practice infant baptism.  We only baptize those old enough to make a conscious, informed decision to follow Christ.  We do practice child dedications – where parents present their child to the Lord in front of the entire congregation and dedicate the child to God.

Some people who have been baptized before (as an adult) seek to be re-baptized.  Depending on the situation, it may not be necessary.  Those seeking re-baptism should contact Foothills prior to the day of the baptism service.

Those wishing to be baptized must attend a mandatory Baptism Orientation class one hour before the baptism service.  Participants should bring a towel and wear something modest to be baptized in.  We suggest shorts and a dark tee-shirt.

What is Worship

We believe that God Almighty is GREAT and He deserves the love and affection of the people He has created! Worship is giving to God praise, love, honor and adoration for who He is and what He has done. One of the ways we worship God is to sing to him. The Bible teaches us that God loves it when we sing to Him, and He responds by joining with those that are worshiping him (Psalm 22:3).

"Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God..." (Psalm 100:1-3)

Our worship is lively, upbeat, soothing, cross cultural, and meaningful. We are currently seeking for volunteers to serve in all sections. We hope that you will join us soon at one of our weekend services as we honor God through worship!
