What is baptism all about?

Baptism is a public declaration of the faith you have in Jesus. Baptism itself doesn't save you. You must decide to repent of your sin and put your faith in Jesus and acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior of your life, then you will be saved.

FAQs

When you were sprinkled as a baby, that was a commitment that your parent(s) made; your baptism now will be an expression of your adult commitment to Christ. The Bible shows this pattern throughout the book of Acts: hearing the gospel, believing and repenting, and then getting baptized.

Yes, you should. The Bible says to repent, believe, and then be baptized.

No, you do not need to be baptized again, assuming that you were truly committed to Christ and were baptized in obedience to the Biblical directive, and it was a Christian church. Your baptism symbolically professed your membership in the Body of Christ, not a specific church or denomination.

It depends. It usually makes sense to be baptized by the pastors or elders of the church you attend. Please contact us to discuss any special circumstances (for example, you are an out-of-town visitor who got saved at our church and would like to be baptized here before returning home).

If your original baptism was a Christian baptism in obedience to the Biblical directive, there is no need to be baptized again.

God cares about your heart, not the exact mechanics of the baptism. Let us know your circumstances, and we will find a safe way to baptize you.

Please dress modestly. Appropriate bathing suits, shorts, and a T-shirt (or other covering) are typical.

Our baptisms usually last from thirty minutes to an hour.

Sign up is encouraged so that we can provide you with information before the baptism and follow up with you after the baptism about next steps.

Everyone! Bring family and friends. Let them witness your joy and take pictures.
