Baptism Services

Baptism is an ordinance of the local church (Matt. 28:19) in which a believer is immersed in water (Acts 8:38-39) upon his profession of faith (Acts 2:41) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It is a visible sign of union with Christ in His death and resurrection (Rom. 6:4) and signifies that the one being baptized has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus and forgiven of all his sins (Acts 22:16). While baptism is an act of obedience, it is also something that is received rather than performed, reflecting the way in which salvation itself is received from God (Eph. 2:8-9). Through baptism, the believer publicly identifies with Christ and His church, declaring to the world that he belongs to Jesus (Matt. 28:19-20). Baptism not only signifies these gospel realities but also serves as a means of grace, strengthening the faith of the believer and assuring him that he has died to sin and now walks in newness of life. It is an ordinance administered by the elders of a local church.
