What is the purpose of Water Baptism?

Water Baptism is the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 16:16)

Water Baptism is an outward act by which we publicly declare that we have repented of sins and have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Water Baptism is symbolic—it portrays the fact that, by faith, we have identified ourselves with Christ in His death (we are buried under the waters) and in His resurrection (we are raised out of the waters).

Baptism Services are scheduled several times throughout the year.

Our next Baptism is TBD.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend as we celebrate with those taking the next step in their spiritual journey.

Please complete the Online Form below if you have questions or want to be baptized. We will be in touch soon!

Why Be Baptized?

1.Because you want to follow Christ’s example.

Mark 1:9 – “At that time Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John in the river.”

2. Because Christ Commanded it.

Matthew 28:19-20 – “Jesus said, ‘Go then, to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.”


3. Because it shows you are a Believer.

Acts 18:8 – “… many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.”


4. Because obeying Christ’s command shows you know Him.

I John 2:3 – “We know that we have come to know Him, if we obey His commands.”

Who Should Be Baptized?

  • Every person who has made the decision to believe in Christ.
  • Acts 2:41 – “Those who believed and accepted His message were baptized.”
  • Acts 8:12 – “But when they believed Philip as he preached the Good News … and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
  • The one requirement for baptism is belief in Christ. We do not baptize children until they are old enough to understand and believe.
