Frequently asked questions
Who should be baptized?
Everyone who is willing to repent of their sins and confess their belief in Christ should be baptized (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38-39).
Why should I be baptized?
The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace through faith. Baptism is an integral part of responding in faith to Christ and the Gospel. Following our understanding of Scripture, we practice baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. The Greek word used throughout the New Testament for baptism is “baptizo,” which means to plunge, dip, or immerse. Jesus modeled this form of baptism and commanded it, making baptism an act of obedience and faith. Baptism by immersion represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing our old self dying, being buried in the water, and raised as a new creation in Christ Jesus. Anyone who has professed faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized immediately or as soon as it can be arranged. Matthew 3:13-17, 28:18-20; Acts 2:38, 8:12-13, 8:36-38,10:44-48; Romans 6:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17
Can anyone come with me? Who will baptize me?
Yes! Invite your friends and family, as this is an awesome moment for them to witness the difference that Jesus has made in your life.
One of our ministers on staff can baptize you, or if there is someone in your life who has previously been baptized by full immersion, you are more than welcome to have them baptize you.
