Baptism
Many people come to faith in Christ at different points in their lives, and for some, the decision to be baptized may not have come right away. But regardless of when or where you accepted Christ, or whether you have been baptized before, we want to encourage you to consider taking this important step of going public with your faith through baptism.
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus Christ.
It is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, and it marks the start of a journey of growing closer to God and becoming more like Him. In baptism, we publicly proclaim our faith in Jesus and the change He has made in our lives.
The Bible is clear about the importance of baptism.
In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands his followers to baptize others in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in Acts 22:16, the Apostle Paul is told by Ananias "And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name." . So, baptism is not just a tradition, it is a command from our Lord, Jesus himself.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, but have never been baptized, we want you to know that you are not alone. There are many people in the same situation, and we would be honored to stand alongside you as you take this important step of faith. Being baptized is not just for new believers, it is for anyone who wants to publicly identify themselves with Jesus, regardless of their past.
Baptism is a powerful way to start your journey as a follower of Jesus.
It marks the start of a new chapter in your life and is a powerful reminder of the change Jesus has made in you. As the Bible says,
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
We would love to have the opportunity to stand with you as you go public with your faith. Let us know if you are ready to take the step of being baptized and we will be more than happy to help you make this decision! We believe that your baptism will be a day you will never forget, a moment that you will look back on with joy.
We hope you will consider taking this step and going public with your faith through baptism.
