water baptism

If you’ve decided that trusting Jesus is the only way to get close to God and you’re ready to let go of trying to earn your way there, then baptism is your next step. It’s about showing that you believe Jesus’ sacrifice is what really connects you to God. If you’re at this point in your faith, it’s time to get baptized!

“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” Romans 3:22

Why Be Baptized?

What is the meaning of Baptism?

  • Christ died for our sins... He was buried... and He rose again. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

    For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ. (Colossians 2:12)

  • For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. (Romans 6:4)

  • God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

When should I Be Baptized?

  • Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household. And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized. (Acts 16:31-33)
