Baptism

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus. It’s a public declaration of faith and a celebration of new life in Christ.

Baptism is a powerful step of faith—it’s an outward expression of an inward transformation. When you choose to be baptized, you’re publicly declaring that you have decided to follow Jesus and live a new life in Him.

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). Baptism symbolizes that truth—your old life is buried with Christ, and you are raised to walk in the newness of life (Romans 6:4).

Even Jesus Himself was baptized, setting the example for us to follow (Matthew 3:13–17). Baptism doesn’t make you a follower of Christ—it shows others that you already are. It’s a celebration of the grace, forgiveness, and new life that God has given you through Jesus.

If you’re ready to take this step of obedience and declare your faith, we’d love to celebrate with you.
