WATER BAPTISM

Water baptism is a time of celebration and public declaration of new life in Christ. Bring your friends and family with you to the Worship Service so you can celebrate together.

What is Baptism?

Water baptism is a public declaration of three important things:

1. You are a follower of Jesus Christ

2. You are beginning a changed life in Christ

3. And, you are part of a new family.

We believe that baptism is an important next step in your relationship with Jesus. Water baptisms take place after the 11:30 am service on the first Sundays of the month. Please click the link below to register.
