Baptism is an opportunity for you to make your faith in Jesus public. It’s simply an outward display of an inward decision you’ve made to follow Jesus with your life and giving it over to Him. Baptism is a symbol of how Jesus washes us clean and we receive new life through Him (Romans 6:4 & 2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus took on the penalty of our sin by dying on the cross, so now through a relationship with Him, we are made right with God. Instead of our sins, when God sees us, He sees His son who died for our sins! When we are submerged in the water, that’s like a representation of our old life before Christ. When we come out of the water, that’s a representation of a new life with Jesus – we are washed clean and made new!

You can be baptized either at the church indoors or at Bisset Park in the river on select dates (May 24, Sept. 6).
