I HAVE DECIDED

Water Baptism is a way for believers to outwardly express what God has done in their hearts and lives in the presence of other believers. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and would like to make a public declaration of that decision.

Water Baptisms take place twice a year: Palm Sunday and in September. If you are interested in being baptized, please fill out the form and we will contact you with the dates of our next water baptism. Family and friends are encouraged to attend and celebrate this significant decision.   Water Baptism is for kids 8 years old and up.

Baptism FAQs

Why is baptism important?

  • Baptism is commanded by Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20)
  • Jesus was baptized and set the example for us to follow (Matthew 3:13-17)
  • It is symbolic of what has already take place in your life.  Baptism is a symbolic picture of the cleansing Jesus does in us.  It is a public display of us dying to the old self and being raised up to walk a new live.  It is a picture of our new identity, as forgiven (Romans 6:3-4)

When should someone be baptized?

  • As the church was initiated in the book of Acts - people who received the Word were baptized.  Baptism always followed conversion, which means placing one's faith in Jesus, in the Scripture.  (Acts 2:41).
  • People who were baptized prior to placing their faith in Jesus were baptized again. (Acts 19:1-5)

Why do we baptize by immersion (to "dip" the entire person into the water)?

  • New believers in the New Testament were completely "dipped" into the water.  Philip took the eunuch "down into the water" to be baptized.  (Acts 8:26-38)
  • Jesus "went up from the water" during His baptism.  (Matthew 3:13-16)
