Considering Baptism?
We are excited that you love Jesus and are seeking to identify with Him in baptism! Baptism is an important step of obedience for every person who is trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
As Christ was buried and raised to life, baptism represents that you have died to your old life (burial) and have been given a new life (resurrection). Baptism does not make you a believer, but it is a way of publicly showing that you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ. At our church, we baptize by immersion under water because we believe this is the best picture of what has happened in someone’s life when they trust Christ.
We also believe baptism in the New Testament is a sign and a step of commitment into the family of God and a local church body. Therefore, we baptize people who have demonstrated a willingness to be fully functioning members of our church or another local gospel preaching church. The first step in the baptism process is for you to have a conversation with one of our pastors. They will listen to your story of how God has worked in your life and point you to information that will help you prepare for baptism.
