Questions & Answers
Below are answers to some common questions we think visitors might have. If you have a question you think should be added, please contact the webmaster from the contact us page.
What should I wear to visit Cohansey Baptist Church
on Sunday morning?
The dress style is casual. Wear whatever makes you
comfortable and whatever you would like to wear, although we
do ask that you dress modest. If you would like to dress up,
go ahead and wear a suit; if you want to dress down, feel
free to wear shorts and a t-shirt. We feel that it is your
personal decision what you wear.
What is Children's Church?
Children's Church is a time where the kids who go can learn a
Biblical message in more of a hands-on and involved message than the
sermon. This time is specifically grafted and designed to be able to
teach them in a way that they will understand and enjoy.
Where does the pastor get all these neat ideas of holy
living? Where does all his teaching come from?
All of our teaching and preaching comes from God Himself,
written down in His Word, the Bible. The Bible has information on
everything from ancient history, to a description of the future
times, to instructions for daily living. We believe the Bible is
more than just a book on the shelf...it is powerful and is our
guidebook for daily living. A Christian t-shirt I saw said
this:"Real men ask for directions." And the best of all directions
come from the Bible.
What is the purpose of Communion (the Lord's Supper)?
Communion is a time of remembrance of the sacrifice that Jesus
Christ made for each of us. When we eat the bread, we remember
Jesus' body being cut and torn for us. When we drink the juice, we
remember Jesus' blood being poured out for us.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks
and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this
is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to
them, and they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many," he said to them. (Mark 14:22-24)
Who can take Communion (eat the bread and drink the
juice) at our church?
Any professed, born-again (saved) Christian may eat and
drink Communion with us. Membership with our church or our
denomination is not a requirement, nor is baptism. The last
thing we ask is that you will examine yourself and decide if
you should take it. It comes down to a personal decision.
How is Communion served and taken at Cohansey?
The Deacons and Associate Deacons pass out the bread to
everyone who wishes to take it. You may use this time to
pray. We eat the bread together when Pastor Pete
announces it. The Deacons and Associate Deacons pass out
the juice. We drink the juice together when Pastor Pete
announces it. We then usually sing the first verse of the
hymn "Blest Be The Tie That Binds" because Communion is
something that
binds us together as a people of
God regardless of denomination,
church, race, job, etc.. We are bound together in the
sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross.
