The Seven Sacraments at Turning Point Church of Galveston
Ministries
Baptism
Baptism is a beautiful sacrament that marks the beginning of our faith journey. At Turning Point Church of Galveston, we believe in the power of baptism to cleanse us from sin and unite us with the Body of Christ. Through the waters of baptism, we are reborn as children of God and receive the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to live a life of faith.
Confirmation
In the sacrament of Confirmation, we receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit and become active participants in the mission of the Church. Turning Point Church of Galveston offers comprehensive confirmation programs for individuals of all ages, allowing them to deepen their understanding of the faith and make a personal commitment to follow Christ.
Eucharist
The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, is the source and summit of our faith. During Mass, bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ, which we receive as nourishment for our souls. At Turning Point Church of Galveston, we celebrate the Eucharist with reverence and gratitude, recognizing it as a profound encounter with Jesus Himself.
Reconciliation
Reconciliation, or confession, is a sacrament of healing and forgiveness. It offers us the opportunity to reflect on our actions, seek repentance, and receive God's mercy. At Turning Point Church of Galveston, our priests are available to listen, offer counsel, and administer this sacrament, allowing individuals to experience the transformative power of God's forgiveness.
Marriage
The sacrament of Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, united in love and commitment. Turning Point Church of Galveston offers marriage preparation programs that provide couples with the tools and support they need to build a strong and lasting union. We believe that through this sacrament, couples are called to reflect the love of Christ and become a living witness of His presence in the world.
Holy Orders
Holy Orders is a sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops. At Turning Point Church of Galveston, we value the importance of vocations and strive to foster a culture of discernment and support. We encourage those who are considering a religious vocation to explore their calling and discern God's will.
