what is water baptism?

Baptism is one of the most significant acts we take in our life. It symbolizes your identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus instructs His followers to go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward transformation—a public confession of the work that Christ has already done in your heart. By being baptized, you are telling the world that you are a follower of Jesus, committed to living out your faith.

We believe baptism is more than just a symbol. It’s a celebration of moving from death to life! As Colossians 2:12-14 reminds us, when we enter the water, it represents our old life being buried, and as we come out of the water, it’s like being raised into a new life, just as Christ was raised from the dead. Baptism is a powerful declaration that the old has passed away and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17)!


Why Do We Do It Publicly?

Baptism is not meant to be done in secret—it’s a public declaration of faith. When you’re baptized in front of others, you’re asking your church community to hold you accountable for your commitment to follow Christ. It’s an opportunity to boldly proclaim, “I am a new creation in Christ - watch what He's about to do!” Being baptized in front of others encourages them, strengthens your resolve, and aligns your life with the testimony you are sharing.

We believe this public step is crucial for living out your faith in community, just as God intended. It’s not just about a private decision—it’s about sharing your faith, celebrating new life in Christ, and inviting others to support you as you grow in your walk with Him.
