As part of the body of Christ, Ocean City Baptist Church will be obedient to Christ and recognize His command to '. . . go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you . . .' (Matthew 28:19 & 20a, NASB).
