Water Baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. It is an obedient response to God and an expression of your commitment to Christ. It is a way to show others that you have entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ and symbolizes what took place in your heart at the time of salvation. Because Jesus instructed us to be baptized, baptism is an act of obedience. While it is not necessary for salvation, Water Baptism demonstrates your submission to God. When you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you shared in His death and resurrection, which is symbolically illustrated by going under the water (dead to your old life) and rising again (new life). Through water baptism, you are symbolically washed clean because your sins were forgiven by Jesus' death on the cross.
The baptismal service will be held on December 4, 2024 at 7:30PM.
A mandatory water baptism class will be held on December 4 at 6PM.
We look forward to celebrating this milestone in your faith with you!
