Baptism

We believe that baptism is the public confession of Christ as Savior and Lord. It is a symbol of one’s union, by faith, with Christ in death, burial, and resurrection, and therefore is to be administered by immersion to only those who have given evidence of faith in Christ as their personal Savior (Matt. 28:19Open Link in New Window; Mark 16:16Open Link in New Window; Acts 2:38-41, 8Open Link in New Window:36-39; Rom. 6:3-5Open Link in New Window; Col. 2:12Open Link in New Window). We believe that baptism is the official entrance into local church membership.
