Who are Members of Hockessin Baptist?
- We are people who have trusted Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. We believe that Jesus is God and the He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. We trust Him to forgive our sins and give us eternal life.
- We are believers who publicly confessed our faith by being baptized. The church baptizes believers the same way Jesus and other New Testament believers were baptized, by immersing in water. Church leadership counsels with all who wish to be baptized.
- Some are those who have already been baptized by immersion and were members of another church. They joined our church through the transfer of a letter or by statement from a church of like faith and order.
