Baptism is a way of declaring your commitment to the world that you are living for Jesus. By being “immersed”, you identify with and declare your allegiance to Jesus. It means you understand you have sin, that you need forgiveness and that you need a Savior. Because of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, you can experience new life in Christ. Baptism is a picture of that death, burial and resurrection. Baptism signifies a change from an observer, or seeker to a follower of Jesus.

Baptism is not a ticket to heaven. It is a step of repentance and a declaring of Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

If you have decided that Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection was a sacrifice for your sins, and because of that act of love we can now have a relationship with Him, then we encourage this next step in your journey. Through baptism you declare to everyone that you are putting you faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.

Jesus did it. - Matthew 3:13-15

Infant baptism is a tradition in many churches. We don’t think it’s wrong, however we don’t see it taught in scripture. We think it’s great that parents cared enough to have their children baptized but in infant baptism, it’s the parents who made the decision. We feel that the decision to be baptized should be made by each individual and that they understand sin, repentance and love for God.
