Baptism is all about going public with you faith in Jesus and communicating to the world your heartfelt commitment to following Him. If Baptism is the next step on your spiritual journey, we encourage you to fill out the form and schedule a time to talk with Pastor Matt.

BURIED WITH CHRIST

"Do you repent of your sins and acknowledge your need of a Savior?” In following Jesus, we first must acknowledge our need for him and that we are repenting of (literally "turning away from”) our sin. Paul puts it this way: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?” (Romans 6:3)

It is not the act of baptism itself that buries our old, sinful nature—but rather baptism is a symbol of us going to the grave with Jesus. "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death” (Romans 6:4). Isn’t that beautiful? Our brokenness, our shame, our sin, our guilt is put in the grave. We are turning from our old sinful nature when we repent and turn to Jesus. 

RAISED TO NEW LIFE. 

"Have you put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior?” It’s not enough to turn from sin, it’s about turning to Jesus as the only one who can save. Saying we have put our faith in him means we believe in our hearts and acknowledge with our mouths that Jesus He is God in the flesh, that he conquered over death, and that he alone has the power to save. And because of our faith in Jesus, we are raised—just as he was raised—to new life!

“Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.” (Romans 6:4)

Have you made the decision to trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If so, baptism is your next step of obedience! Jesus Himself was baptized - and the Bible commands believers to follow His example.
