Baptisms

Is Baptisms your next step?

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It’s a public declaration that you have decided to be a follower of Jesus Christ. For everyone who decides to follow Jesus Christ, baptism is your next step.

You can sign up for our next baptisms at the information desk in the foyer.

 

WHAT IS BAPTISM?

Baptism is 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.

I have been baptized before. Can I be baptized again?
Only you can make this decision. We encourage people to take the step of baptism again if he or she does not remember the baptism, it was not a personal decision, or he or she is re-dedicating their life to Christ.

Jesus instructs us to be baptized and set the example. (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:9) Being baptized shows that we turn away from a life of sin toward Jesus, the only one who can change us. (Acts 2:38-41)

If you haven’t made that commitment to know Jesus as your personal Savior, you can pray this prayer right now, wherever you are: “Father, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe and understand that Jesus lived, died and rose again so that I could be connected to God. I receive this gift by trusting You alone as my only way to heaven. I give my life to you.”
