Baptism

When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, we move from death to life! The Bible tells us that our old self is gone, and our new self is now here (Ephesians 2:4–5). Hands down, it’s the greatest and most important decision a person can ever make, and we believe it’s a decision worth celebrating!

Baptism is when we go public with the personal decision we made to say yes and follow Jesus. Simply put, it’s an outward symbol of an inward reality. Baptism doesn’t save us, but it is the first step of obedience we can take as we follow the example Jesus gave us.

If you’ve made the decision to follow Jesus, then baptism is the next step!

I’m ready to get baptized!
