Becoming a Christian is a big important step, but it’s the best thing you will ever do. On one level it is is very straightforward – a simple prayer of commitment*, inviting Christ to be Lord of your life; acknowledging your need to be forgiven and expressing true sorrow for your mistakes and wrong choices in life. When you pray this prayer sincerely from your heart, God makes you a member of His family, and places His Holy Spirit in your heart to help you live as a Christian. It is truly wonderful how this process can transform our lives as He gradually changes us to be more like Jesus.

Then we need to continue praying for God’s help in living as a Christian and becoming the person he always intended us to be. Human encouragement is important too, so you’ll want to join with others who will help and support you, and a good lively, friendly church will be the place to go. We would always be delighted to welcome you here, but there are other excellent churches near us here in Rye, and there will be one near you if you aren’t local to us.

We would always be happy to try to answer any questions you may have. Do email us at enquiries@ryebaptistchurch.co.uk

*If you would like to, this is a prayer that you can use to commit your life to Jesus:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Saviour. Amen”

If you’ve prayed this prayer, it’s important that you tell another Christian in order to get support and encouragement. If you don’t know anyone you feel you could tell, then email and tell us; be assured it’ll make our day!
