WHAT IS BAPTISM?

Baptism is the powerful connection of water with God’s Word that blesses us with God’s grace and forgiveness. When we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God puts His name on us and makes us a part of His family. Jesus teaches that Baptism is essential. We receive a new identity in Christ. Being baptized in the water and the Word indicates that we should, by daily repentance, drown the old sinful nature within us so that we rise up and walk in the newness of life. (Key passages:  Matthew 28:19; Titus 3:5-8; Romans 6:4) We are here for any questions you have, so just ask.

WHAT IF I WANT TO RENEW MY BAPTISM?

We are 100% behind you if you wish to renew your baptism. We don’t call it a “re-baptism” since we believe baptism is a one-time event and that God works powerfully in that baptism. God doesn't ever back down from the promise He makes to you in your Baptism... even ever if you mess up more than you think He will forgive.  But being reminded of His goodness to you, even when you make mistakes,  is powerful.  If you wish to renew and celebrate what God did in your baptism, you are more than welcome to let us know you’re interested.
