GOD'S LOVE
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16
To believe in Jesus means we trust and follow him as both Savior and Lord. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace through faith.
Baptism is a God-given, beautiful part of responding in faith to Christ and the Gospel.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We uphold baptism as the normative means of entry into the life of discipleship.
Following our understanding of Scripture, we practice baptism by immersion for the remission of sins.
The Greek word used throughout the New Testament for baptism is “baptizo,” which means to plunge, dip, or immerse. Jesus modeled this form of baptism and commanded it, making baptism an act of obedience and faith.
DEATH. BURIAL. RESURRECTION.
Baptism by immersion represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
As we enter the water, it symbolizes our old self dying and being buried.
As we are raised from the water, it symbolizes being raised as a new creation in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:3–4
