Baptism is going public about your faith in Jesus and communicating to the world your heart-felt commitment to following Him.

It’s the next step after salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on 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 baptize during our services on the last Sunday of every month.

Because Jesus was baptized that way.

"As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water." – Matthew 3:16
