baptism
Baptism is an important step in your journey as a follower of Christ and an outward symbol of the work He has already done in you.
The Bible paints a beautiful picture of baptism as our identification with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection. When you make the decision to accept Christ as your Savior, the Bible says that your old way of life is dead, and you are beginning a new life with Christ.
Accepting Christ as your Savior means you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and that by His death and bodily resurrection, He bridged the gap between you and God for all time. If you have come to this point in your spiritual journey, you are ready to be baptized.
Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with Him? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans 6:3-4
Kids Baptism
Children who wish to be baptized must attend a Kids Baptism Class along with their parent or guardian. The Children’s Baptism Class is designed to help children learn about the purpose and importance of baptism. You will receive the baptism date following the baptism class.

Why should I be baptized?
You will be following Jesus Christ in obedience. Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Baptism shows others your commitment to following Christ and represents your new life after accepting Him. Romans 6:3-5 says, “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death. We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His”.
