Baptism isn’t required for salvation, but is a crucial necessary step of faith for believers. The baptismal waters don’t save anyone, rather it is Jesus who saves us. Baptism is a picture of the work that Jesus has done in a person’s heart.
Baptism illustrates Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). It shows our new life as a follower of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Baptism doesn’t make you a believer… it shows that you already believe. Baptism doesn’t save you; Jesus does! Baptism is like a wedding ring, signifying a relationship rather than forming that relationship.
We follow Jesus’ example in baptism. He was baptized (Mark 1:9), and commanded us to be baptized (Matthew 28:19-20).
At Faith, we baptize by immersion. That’s the example we see throughout Scripture, and is the basis for the meaning of the word “baptize,” which means to immerse (or dip under) in water.
We can normally baptize you during our Sunday worship service. Just fill out this form and let us know when you would like to be baptized. Someone will get in touch with you shortly with instructions.
