Baptism
Baptism is a sign of our new life in Christ. It is not a means of salvation but a sacrament that signifies our rebirth in Christ through which we identify with his death and resurrection. In baptism, faith is confirmed and grace increased in order to live out our new life faithfully. From a human perspective, baptism is an act of obedience that affirms our conscious decision to place ourselves under the lordship of Christ. We undertake baptism in faith and through it God increases our faith. At the same time, baptism marks our initiation into the body of Christ. We literally become joined with believers into Christ’s one universal body.
If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, we encourage you to be baptized. You will need to take the Introduction to Baptism class before you can be baptized. Look for announcements about baptism throughout the year.
