Ethan
Schrock’s Faith Statement – “I have known God since I
can remember. As a child, my parents
gave me a children’s Bible and I always liked going to Bible school whether it
was Sunday before church or at a camp.
More recently in junior high, I would attend Youth for Christ at my
school. So basically, I have always had
a Christian background and a great family to set an example. Being baptized will be a public show of my
faith in my Lord and Savior.”
