Water baptism is a celebration of your decision to follow Jesus. It is a public declaration of the covenant you have made with God. This is your response to God—to show to the world what He has done for you. Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in, and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him.
During baptism, we let ourselves be completely immersed in the water. This symbolizes burial with our Lord. We are baptized into His death on the cross and are no longer slaves to self or sin (Romans 6:3-7) . When we are raised out of the water, we are symbolically resurrected—raised to our new life in Christ and to be with Him forever, born into the family of our loving God (Romans 8:16).
Water Baptism is every last Sunday of the month. Register at the Information Table and attend the short orientation. Bring extra clothes, a towel, toiletries for rinsing off, and your readiness to publicly declare to the world that you have made a decision to follow Jesus.
