As posted by News 4 San Antonio’s Don Harris, Spurs draftee Tarris Reed, Jr. was recently baptized by Ed Newton, senior pastor at Community Bible Church here in San Antonio. The CBC as it commonly known, has a system of campuses and services throughout San Antonio. A sect of the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, serves an estimated 20,000 members across the city.

Reed, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, has only been in San Antonio a short time. The CBC, which offers baptism regularly, welcomed him and in late October, the Spurs new center joined the congregation through the symbolic spiritual cleansing ritual.
