Baptism is a wonderful and powerful step in our journey with God. In obedience, we take a step of faith by being baptized in water as an outward sign of the inward work Jesus is doing in us. It declares that you are a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a public confession of your faith in, and commitment to, Jesus Christ. It is the next step after surrendering your life to Jesus, asking for forgiveness, and following him. It is an important foundation for the Christian life. As followers of Christ, we follow the example and command of Jesus in Baptism.
It is a symbol of your new life as a Christian. We bury the ‘old life’ and we rise to walk in a ‘new life’. Baptism is like a wedding ring, it is the outward symbol of the commitment you made in your heart, a commitment that is to be followed through and lived out on a daily basis.
Mark 1:9; Colossians 2:12-14; Romans 6:4; Acts 2:41
We do baptisms several times a year.
