Baptism

What is Baptism?

Ready to Take Your Next Step?

If you’ve placed your faith in Jesus for salvation, baptism is the next of obedience into that new life.

Baptism is a public profession of an inner faith. It’s a symbol of the finished work that Jesus has done on your behalf. Going under the water represents being united with Christ in His death and burial. Coming up out of the water is a picture of His resurrection and your new life in Him. It’s a way of saying to the world: “I’ve been made new. I no longer live for myself, but for Christ.”

In Scripture, baptism also marks a believer’s initiation into the family of faith. It’s a joyful moment of identifying with Jesus and with the community of His followers. While baptism doesn’t save us, it’s a public witness to the salvation we’ve received and a celebration of God’s transforming grace.

We believe the Bible teaches that baptism is only for believers in Jesus, which means we do not practice infant baptism. However, we do baptize children who have understood the gospel and put their faith in Jesus, as long as they are able to share their testimony, and have the support of their parents.

Whether you’re just starting your journey or have followed Jesus for a while and have never been baptized, we’d love to help you take this meaningful next step.
