Why should I be baptized?
Christ commanded it. He was the example. It was for obedience.It was the pattern of the early church. We see it throughout the Book of The Acts of the Apostles. (Acts 2:37-41, 8:12, 8:36-39, 10:46-48, and Chapter 16.)It is a source of unity and a point of common ground. All is level and equal at the foot of the cross and in the baptismal waters.
What do I need to do to be baptized?
Realize your need for God and respond by faith in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son and Savior of the world with your whole heart.Repent (change your mind) and begin a new direction and new way of thinking about your relationship with God.Confess (with your mouth) your trust in Christ and the change that has taken place and that will take place as you mature spiritually in Him.Plunge your past through baptism (your whole body) and begin a new walk and a new way coming out of the baptismal waters as an act of obedience expressing publicly your personal decision to trust Christ as savior and Lord.
Where and when can I be baptized?
In the Sanctuary every second Sunday (unless noted) after the 10:45 Church school has concluded.
What about children?
Parents of children (Grades 1-6) and for preschooler parents may speak with our Children’s Ministry advisers regarding your child’s baptism.
