Obedience
WHAT IS BAPTISM?
Baptism is a joyful step of obedience for every follower of Jesus. It isn’t what saves us, but it is the public declaration that we belong to Christ and desire to follow Him. Baptism beautifully pictures the forgiveness of our sins and the new life we have in Jesus. It’s a moment to celebrate as a church family—a milestone in a believer’s walk with Christ and the beginning of a new chapter in their journey with Jesus.
WHO CAN BE BAPTIZED?
Baptism is for anyone who has made a personal decision to trust and follow Jesus. We baptize by immersion (going under the water and coming back up), representing what baptism is meant to symbolize: being buried with Christ in His death and raised to new life with Him (Romans 6:3-4).
