  • ADULT & STUDENT BAPTISM

    Baptism is an outward sign of your decision to follow Jesus. Adults can take the step of believer’s baptism as a public declaration of their own personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Baptism signifies that our former way of life has been put to death, and depicts new life of a person who has made a commitment to follow Jesus.

    While believer’s baptism is not necessary for salvation, it marks the beginning of the journey of faith and discipleship that lasts throughout a lifetime. In the New Testament, baptism was often the first step of those who placed their trust in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

    It's a sign of new life through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Variously identified as regeneration, new birth, and being born again, this work of grace makes us into new spiritual creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17).

  • CHILD BAPTISM & DEDICATION

    Baptism of infants and young children is an opportunity for parents to publicly declare their trust in Jesus as their personal Savior and to invite the help of Jesus and of their local church body as they commit to raise their child as part of the community of faith.

    In Acts 16:33-34, Luke describes the head of a household deciding to have his whole family baptized by the Apostle Paul as a demonstration of his intention that they would now be a Christian household. In the baptism of an infant or young child, we are reminded of the unconditional love of God that goes before us and the undeserved grace of God that sustains us.

    We see baptism of infants and young children as more than a dedication, but less than a declaration of salvation. Children baptized as an infant or young child are invited to participate in confirmation or other environments where they can make a personal decision to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
