Because Baptism Is Your Public Declaration of Faith in Jesus

Water Baptism is the next step after deciding to follow Jesus! Baptism is a command. Everyone who confesses Christ should be obedient to it and baptized. Baptism signifies the Lordship (or leadership) of Jesus in our lives and our obedience to His command to repent of our sins. When baptized, you are fully immersed in water, symbolizing the burial of your old sinful life and the beginning of a new life in Christ. We believe in water baptism because Jesus himself modeled it for us. 

"When all the people were baptized, Jesus was baptized too. As he was praying, heaven was opened."

Luke 3:21


"Those who accepted his message were baptized and three thousand were added to their number that day."

Acts 2:41

"When you were baptized, you were buried as Christ was buried. When you were raised up in baptism, you were raised as Christ was raised. You were raised to new life by putting your trust in God. It was God who raised Jesus from the dead."

Colossians 2:12

What should I wear?

We recommend wearing a dark top and dark pants or shorts. Also, don't forget your towel!

What if I was baptized as a baby?

This is what we call child dedication. It is based off the faith of the parents believing you will walk with the Lord. As an adult, you can exercise your own faith to bury the old life and be raised to newness of life in your walk with God. 

Baptism illustrates Christ's burial and resurrection.

“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… and He rose again.” — 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ.” —Colossians. 2:12 

Baptism illustrates my new life as a Christian.

“When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

“By our baptism then, we were buried with Him and shared His death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead…so also we may live a new life!” — Romans 6:4

Baptism doesn't make you a believer—it shows that you already believe. Baptism does not “save” you, only your faith in Christ does that. Baptism is the outward symbol of the inward commitment you make in your heart. 

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” — Ephesians 2:8-9
