I'm Ready to be Baptized.
Baptism is a vital part of your faith journey, symbolizing the powerful connection between water and God’s Word, and it brings us His grace and forgiveness. We’re here to support you through this significant step and celebrate your decision with you. Are you ready to take the next step and be baptized?
What is Baptism?
Baptism is the powerful connection of water with God’s Word that blesses us with God’s grace and forgiveness. When we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we receive a new identity, becoming children of God. Being baptized with water indicates that we should, by daily repentance, drown the old sinful nature within us so that we can rise up and walk in the newness of life. ( Matthew 28:19; Titus 3:5-8; Romans 6:4)

What if I feel like I need to "renew" my baptism?
We are 100% behind you if you wish to renew your baptism. We don’t call it a “re-baptism” since we believe that baptism is a one-time event and that God works powerfully in that baptism. If you wish to renew and celebrate what God did in your baptism, you are more than welcome to let us know you’re interested.
