Baptism

water baptism

If you have recently decided to follow Jesus or if you’ve never been water baptized, we invite you to take this next step in your faith journey.
Baptism is an outward declaration of the decision you have made to surrender your heart to Jesus. It is a significant moment that will serve as a reminder that the past is gone, that God has saved you and that He will be faithful to continue what He started in your life. Baptism is also a great opportunity to celebrate what God has done in your life alongside your family and friends.
Ready to take the step in faith? Let us know who you are, so you can participate in the next baptism event.
We can’t wait to celebrate this important milestone with you!

The Importance of Baptism:

Obedience to God's Word

Baptism is an act of obedience, following Jesus' instruction.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…” – Matthew 28:19

Public Declaration of Faith

It symbolizes a believer’s public confession of faith and identification with Christ.
“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.”
– Matthew 10:32

Death to Sin, Raised to New Life

Baptism illustrates the believer’s unity with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection.
 “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death… that we too may live a new life.” – Romans 6:4

Washing Away of Sins

Though symbolic, baptism represents inner cleansing and a new beginning.
 “And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.” – Acts 22:16

common questions

1. What is baptism?
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. It’s a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life. Being baptized shows others that you’ve decided to follow Jesus, and allows them to celebrate this decision with you (Acts 16:31-34).
Baptism doesn’t save a person; it’s a symbol and celebration of salvation (1 Peter 3:21). The power that brought Jesus back to life is the same power Jesus uses to change our lives – and that’s worth getting excited about!
2. Why should I baptized? 
Jesus instructs us to be baptized and set the example by being baptized (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:9).
Obedience to Jesus shows we believe and follow Him. (1 John 2:3). Because Jesus went public about His love for us, we can go public about our love for Him. Being baptized shows that we turn away from a life of sin and turn toward Jesus, the only one who can change us (Acts 2:38-41).
3. When is the best time to be baptized?
For everyone who decides to follow Jesus, baptism is the next step. Anyone who commits his or her life to following Jesus is ready to be baptized (Acts 8:12).
4. Do I need to be baptized again?
If you haven’t been baptized by immersion since you decided to follow Jesus, we want to help you take your next step of being baptized. Once you’ve taken that step, there’s no need to be baptized again.
God never asks us to take a next step that isn’t good for us. He always gives us more than we deserve or can imagine, including the joy we receive from listening to Him and doing what He says.
