About Baptism

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. The Bible says in Acts 2:38 that we are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins.  Jesus – though he never sinned – was even baptized when He was on the earth as an example for us to follow. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.
