As followers of Jesus Christ, baptism is an essential step in our relationship with Him.
What is Baptism?
The word “baptize” means “to dip under water.” Baptism symbolically tells the story of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Every person who has decided to follow Christ can and should be baptized.
If you have a child wanting to be baptized, contact the Children’s Ministry Team and ask to have your child interviewed by one of our elementary leaders. They will help assure that your child is ready for this important step and can arrange for the baptism.
