Why should I get baptized?
This public ceremony marks your rebirth, showcases your commitment to follow Jesus, and welcomes you into the community of believers.
It’s a powerful testimony to the world about the transformative work of faith in your life. If you feel called to take this step, to publicly declare your faith and join our community in walking this spiritual journey, we invite you to be baptized.
Romans 6:3-4
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
What is the significance of baptism?
Baptism holds profound significance in Christian faith as a symbolic act that encompasses several spiritual truths. It serves as a public declaration of faith, marking a believer’s commitment to follow Christ and their formal admission into the community of faith. Symbolically, it represents the washing away of sin and the beginning of a new life, mirroring Christ’s death and resurrection—going under the water signifies dying to old ways, and emerging symbolizes rebirth. Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus’ command and an example He set, often accompanied by receiving the Holy Spirit, which empowers and guides the believer. It also signifies a covenant with God, committing the baptized individual to live in accordance with God’s laws and the teachings of Jesus. Through baptism, believers embark on a transformative journey of lifelong discipleship and spiritual renewal.
