Next Steps

Baptism
Take the next step in your faith journey through baptism.
What is Baptism?
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection, representing a new life as a believer.
We believe that water baptism is a public declaration, an outward expression of what you have already decided in your heart. If you are ready to make that public declaration, then get started by filling out our Next Step form using the button below! You can also contact us using the form with any additional questions you may have about baptism, membership, serving or connecting with a small group.
