Baptism FAQs

Tell the world, "I belong to Jesus."
If you've made the decision to trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then baptism is the next step on your spiritual journey. It's a public declaration of your faith. We see in the Bible that Jesus was baptized, and He commands us to follow His example.

Why should I be baptized?
 
We get baptized because Jesus commands us to do so! See what he says in the Bible:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - Matthew 28:19-20

Jesus set the example by being baptized Himself (Matthew 28: 19-20, Mark 1:9). Obedience to Jesus shows we believe Him and are following Him with our whole heart. Being baptized shows that we are committed to turning away from a life of sin toward Jesus, the only one who can change us (Acts 2:38-41).

When is the best time to be baptized?
 
Anyone who commits his or her life to following Jesus is ready to be baptized (Acts 8:12). So, if you've decided to follow Jesus, then it's the right time to be baptized!

I was baptized as a baby, should I be baptized as an adult?
 
Maybe you were baptized or sprinkled as an infant, but you’ve never been baptized by immersion. We invite you to take that next step and make a personal decision to be baptized.

Baptisms in the Bible were by immersion, and Jesus was baptized by being immersed in the water and rising out of it (Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10). Being submersed in the water represents our death to sin and old way of life, and being raised out of the water is a picture of how Jesus gave us a fresh start in life (Romans 6:3-5).
