A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
LNM Baptism 2026
A beautiful day of faith, joy and new beginnings by the sea.
On 1 August 2026, our church family gathered in Southend-on-Sea to celebrate those who publicly confessed their faith in Jesus Christ and were baptised by full immersion in water.
“We were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too may live a new life.”Romans 6:4
