Baptistry Funding
 
We know there will be many requests for more baptistries for mission fields, prisons, and military bases.  At $795 per unit for portable baptistries and $975 for Communion Table Baptistries, we will invest tens of thousands of dollars in building and donating these units.
 
If you, your Sunday School class, or your church could sponsor even one of these, that would be terrific.  If you can only make a gift toward this baptistry fund, that would be greatly appreciated as well.  Thanks for your prayers and support.
 
Gifts for Baptistries may be sent to:
