Ceremonies and Ordinances

This course is designed to introduce students to the history of the holy sacraments of the Church and their proper administration. The three Ordinances that are studied in the course are Water Baptism, Holy Communion, and Feet Washing. The ordinances of the church refer to those ceremonial and religious rites which were ordained or instituted by Christ. They are to be administered as visible signs of the saving truth of the gospel and received as an expression of one’s faith’s and allegiance to God.
