FAITH COMES TO LIFE

Baptism

Baptism is an important step of obedience in the life of a believer. Getting baptized is not the source of our salvation, but it’s the public declaration of our commitment to follow Jesus and live in alignment with His word. Baptism symbolizes the forgiveness of our sins and our new life in Christ. It’s something to be celebrated and a special moment in a believer’s walk with Christ, marking a new chapter in their faith journey.

“And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.”

Acts 22:16 (NIV)

Should I Get Baptized?

For believers in Jesus, baptism is about following His example. In Matthew 3:16, we see Jesus getting baptized before beginning His ministry. In doing so, He set the model for all believers to follow. When we get baptized, we take a step of obedience that aligns with God’s word (Matthew 28:19).

Baptism also symbolizes what Christ has done for us. Just as Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, baptism represents leaving behind our old way of life and the beginning of a new life in Him (Romans 6:4).

Baptism FAQ

What Is The Significance of Baptism?
Water baptism is a public declaration of three very important things:
• You are a follower of Jesus Christ.
"Those who accepted his message were baptized." –Acts 2:41
• You are beginning a changed life in Christ.
"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." –Romans 6:4
• You are part of a new family.
"So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." –Galatians 3:26-27
Can My Kids Get Baptized?
Yes! Any child who has made a decision to follow Jesus can be baptized. We encourage parents to talk with their children about the meaning and significance of baptism.

For additional resources, we’ve created a free guide to help you walk your child through this important decision.

What Should I Bring For Baptism?
We recommend everyone come dressed in what they will wear for baptism (Dark bottoms/dark top), and also bring:
• A change of clothes
• A towel
• Toiletries
• A bag for wet clothes

In case you forget anything, our team has you covered with shirts, shorts, and undergarments to change into before your baptism. 
How Old Do I Need To Be To Get Baptized?
If you’ve decided to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, understand the significance of baptism and can freely choose to be baptized - you’re the right age! If you’re wondering whether your child is ready, check out our conversation guide for children and baptism.
I Was Baptized Before, Should I Be Baptized Again?
Your baptism should have signified you becoming a follower of Jesus, beginning a changed life, and uniting with a new family. If you were baptized as an infant or before fully understanding the meaning of baptism, we encourage you to take this step as a reflection of your own faith and commitment to Jesus.
