​
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of two important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ and you are beginning a changed life in Him. If you have never been baptized after salvation, baptism is your first step!

WATER BAPTISM
Why Baptism?
Water baptism gives us the opportunity to begin again! It is an outward expression of an inward change. Through baptism, we can wash away our old nature and embrace a new life in Christ!
Colossians 2:11-12
