Baptism
an outward expression of an inward change
Why Baptism Matters
It follows your decision to trust Jesus
It publicly declares your new life in Him
It connects you with a community that will walk with you
Baptism is your chance to say, “This is what Jesus is doing in my life.” It’s an outward expression of an inward transformation, owning your past with all its highs and lows while celebrating the new life, freedom, and hope you’ve found in Him.
The Bible says, “We were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that… we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:4). Baptism is also a public declaration that you belong to Jesus and to His family. It’s a step of obedience that follows repentance and faith, witnessed and celebrated by a community ready to walk with you.
Join us on Sunday, July 12th as we celebrate baptisms together.
