What is baptism? 

A way to show everyone that you have chosen to follow Jesus. You have made Him the leader of your life.

 

In water baptism, you step into a pool of water and your Pastor or Deacon lowers or dips you under the water and pulls you right back up. This reminds us that Jesus died, was buried and got back up/rose from the dead to wash away our sin.

1. You want everyone to know that you believe in Jesus as Savior.

2. You are making a commitment or promise to following Jesus with your life even when it is hard.

3. Because Jesus was baptized.

​

When do I get baptized?

Does baptism save me?
