Baptism FAQs
Is baptism the same thing as salvation?
Baptism is the next step after salvation. It's a public declaration of your faith, a moment for you to tell the world that Jesus has come into your life. Baptism doesn't save a person, it's simply a symbol of the transformation that has taken place in your life. (1 Peter 3:21)
Why get baptized by full immersion?
All the examples of baptism that we see in the Bible were done by being fully immersed in the water. Jesus Himself was baptized by immersion. We baptize in this way to follow the example Jesus set for us. Baptism by immersion symbolizes being buried with Christ, and being brought out of the water is a symbol of being raised to new life with Christ. (Romans 6:4)
When is the best time to be baptized?
If you have decided to follow Jesus, baptism is your Next Step. Anyone who commits his or her life to following Jesus is ready to be baptized (Acts 8:12).
If I've been baptized before, do I need to be baptized again?
If you haven’t been baptized since you decided to truly follow Jesus, we want to help you take your Next Step of being baptized. Once you have taken that step, there’s no need to be baptized again.
Do you baptize children?
We will baptize anyone who has made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. As a general rule, we do not baptize anyone under the age of 18 without discussing it with their parent(s)/guardian(s).
