Water Baptism

 Baptism

Water Baptism

Water Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.

We believe that baptism is an important next step in your relationship with Jesus. Please click the link below to register.

INVITE FAMILY & FRIENDS

Water baptism is a time of celebration and public declaration of new life in Christ. Bring your friends and family with you so you can celebrate together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Water Baptism is a celebration and declaration of your commitment to follow Jesus! It’s symbolic of Christ’s burial and resurrection. When we enter the water during baptism, we identify with Christ’s death on the cross. When we are raised out of the water, we identify with Christ’s resurrection. We bury our old life and rise to walk in a new life. Through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection we are made free (Romans 6:4; 1 Peter 3:21).

  • Jesus instructs us to be baptized and set the example by being baptized. God was well pleased when Jesus was baptized (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 1:9). Obedience to Jesus shows we believe and follow Him. Because Jesus displayed his love for us, we can display our love for Him through baptism.

  • Jesus was baptized by being immersed in the water and rising out of it (Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10). When we enter the water during baptism, we identify with Christ’s death on the cross. When we are raised out of the water, we identify with Christ’s resurrection.

  • Once you’ve decided to follow Jesus, water baptism is your best next step.

  • If you haven’t been water baptized since your decision to follow Jesus, it’s your best next step. Once you’ve been fully immersed in water, there’s no need to be baptized again.

  • If they’ve made a commitment to follow Jesus, are old enough to understand the meaning of baptism, and want to express that commitment through water baptism, they may be baptized. If your child has already asked Jesus into his or her life, we recommend you discuss what water baptism is and what it means to help them determine whether they’re ready to be water baptized.
