Made New

Celebrate your new life in Christ by obeying Jesus’ command to be baptized. Jesus told us to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Baptism doesn’t save you, but it does show the world that you have been saved. It’s not required for salvation, but it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ. Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and it’s your public declaration that you have started a new life by accepting Jesus as your personal Savior. We’re all set up to baptize you.
