We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, beginning a changed life in Christ, and part of a new family.
Every believer should be baptized (Mark 16:16).
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 the 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.
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism
into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
