What is Baptism?

Jesus was baptized. Since then, millions of his followers have followed his example. Baptism is a way for you to do the same and participate in a common experience with Jesus followers around the world. It is a way to go public with your faith to show others that you have started a personal relationship with Jesus. Baptism doesn't save or restore a person, it's a symbol and celebration of your faith in Jesus. It symbolizes your old life dying (going under the water) and your new life in Jesus (coming out of the water).

Why Baptism?

Designed by God for us.

Baptism in the Bible

God has designed this as a way for us, His children, to be recognized on earth as belonging to Him. In Matthew 3, Jesus’ baptism is recorded as a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, who I love; with Him I am well-pleased.’ God requires those who have put their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, to be baptized. It is a command for all believers. We find these instructions in Acts 2:37-38 and Matthew 28:19; “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
