Baptism

WHAT IS BAPTISM?

When Christians are baptized, they fulfill the command of Jesus (Matt. 28:19-20) and are submerged in water to identify with the death of Jesus and rise out of the water to identify with his resurrection (Rom. 6:1-10; Col. 2:12).  It is a testimony to the fact that you have a new life in Christ (Acts 18:8).  Baptism doesn't make you a believer, it demonstrates you are a believer.

WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED?

If you've made a commitment to Jesus, than you should obey his command to be baptized.

If you haven't made a commitment to Jesus, you can learn more about him, say a prayer and invite him into your life, and to talk with a Christian friend or a church leader about it.  We then invite you to be baptized to make a public confession of your faith.

WANT TO GET BAPTIZED?

We have church outdoor baptism celebrations twice a year.  One is held in October and the other on Palm Sunday.  We offer Baptism Classes to prepare you for your baptism and testimony.  You are free to schedule your baptism at a time other than the all church baptisms.
