What We Believe

Water Baptism, as instituted in the Bible (New Testament), is the means by which a believer is symbolically united with Christ (Galatians 3:27-28). It is more than a mere ritual or ceremony; it is a sign to show that a spiritual change has taken place in our lives through the cleansing of Jesus Christ. It is an outward sign of the inward work of His good news; a public declaration of one’s commitment to Jesus Christ. Baptize means "to dip, immerse," and we practice this symbolic act by completely submerging or immersing one in water.
