Baptism & Membership
Baptism
Baptism is a key part of walking with God and is a central aspect of being a Christian, a Christ-follower. Baptism doesn’t make you a Christian. It declares that you ARE a Christian and is an outward symbol of an inward commitment. Jesus came to bring us salvation, freedom, life, purpose, peace – all of these are awesome things! And, He also came to leave us with an example – how to live and how to walk with the Father. Baptism is a part of this!
