Baptism
We’re excited that you’re considering baptism! We believe baptism is a foundational step of faith for every follower of Christ.
What We Believe
Here are a few notes about our beliefs & practices regarding baptism:
Baptism is for followers of Christ.
Baptism is to be practiced by those who have repented of their rebellion toward God and trusted in Jesus as Lord and Savior. (📖 Acts 2:36-41, Acts 10:44-48)
Baptism is to be practiced by immersion in water.
The word baptism comes from the Greek word “baptizō,” which means to immerse; to submerge; to make fully wet. (📖 John 3:22-24, Matthew 3:13-17, Acts 8:34-38)
Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward change.
It is a picture of what God did for you and what happened to you when He saved you. (📖 Romans 6:1-5)
