Welcome to Mayfield Baptist Church

We fully believe in Baptism by submersion after receiving Christ as your savior.  While Baptism isn't a requirement for Heaven, it is an ordinance and requirement for membership at our Church.  Baptism is symbolic and is an outward showing to the world that a change has taken place in your life and that you will never be the same again.  Often referred to as "the liquid grave", you start out life in an unknowing state until you realize that you are a sinner and need cleansing.  You make the decision to repent of those sins and receive Jesus Christ in your life and start your new life walking within His will.  The "dead man" is gone which allows us to start our new lives with Jesus Christ.

Another ordinance of the Church, communion, is both Holy and Sacred.  Before giving his life on the cross, Jesus ate supper with his disciples in celebration of the Passover.  This meal was prepared in remembrance of the death angel passing by the doors of those obedient that had applied the blood of a sacrificed lamb on the door posts during the unleashing of the last plague as God lead the Hebrew children out of captivity in Egypt under rule of Pharaoh.  As Jesus and the disciples were about to eat and drink, Jesus blessed the bread, broke it and gave it too them saying "this is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."  We also share the bread and the cup together here at Mayfield, it is a precious day focused on doing what Christ asked us to do and that is to remember Him and what He did for us!
