"MAKE DISCIPLES...BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT."
-MATTHEW 28:19
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and resurrected. In some of his last words before leaving earth, Jesus commanded us to make disciples and baptize them, so that's exactly what we do. By the act of baptism, we’re identifying ourselves with Him. Coming out of the water expresses our new life in Christ and our union with Him.
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT BAPTISM
Baptism is a visual and symbolic demonstration of a person's union with Christ in the likeness of His death and resurrection (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12)
It signifies that a person’s former way of life has been put to death and vividly depicts a person's release from the mastery of sin.
The pattern in scripture is that people are baptized after they come to a knowledge and understanding of salvation in Jesus (Acts 2:41; Acts 8:12; Acts 8:13). Because of that, we want to be as sure as we can that a person actually has a relationship with Jesus and understands the gospel theologically and personally before they're baptized.
Baptism should be celebrated. When a person comes up out of the water, we clap, yell, and rejoice because we're celebrating a person crossing from death into life.
If you've recently met Jesus, or haven't been baptized since meeting Jesus, we'd encourage you to sign up to be baptized.
