It is with great excitement that we encourage every believer to follow the footsteps of
Jesus, and commit to obeying the ordiance of Water Baptism immediately after excepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receiving the Gift of Salvation through grace.
The process of baptism consists of immersion, submersion and emergence. This beautiful act identifies the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and identifies a believer to this faithful union.
Water baptism also gives the believer the opportunity to openly testify to others of his/her born-again experience. It serves as an outward sign and testimony of an inward grace. The believer has been crucified with Christ, buried with Him and raised together with Him to walk in newness of life.
Jesus said in Matthew 28:18-20,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
