Baptism

We’re excited that you’re considering baptism! We believe baptism is a foundational step of faith for every follower of Christ.

Baptism

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)
