BAPTISM

Are you considering taking the next step in your faith journey? Jesus commanded His disciples to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 28:19. Baptism is not required for salvation, but it is a step of obedience
to the Word of God and your public declaration of faith in Jesus.

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized…

gladly received His word were baptized.

The word “baptize” means “to dip under water”. It identifies with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and symbolizes a profound transformation – the old self submerged and the new self emerging in Christ.
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
We encourage everyone who has chosen to follow Jesus to get baptized. However, we recommend that children under age six wait until they grasp the full significance of baptism to participate.
Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

Baptism is hosted on the 4th Sunday of every month except December.

Please Note: This year, our June baptism will take place on the second Sunday, June 8, as we join churches nationwide in the Baptize America event. We’re excited to be part of this special day of unity and celebration!
