Baptism is a public proclamation of an inner change: that you have decided to follow Jesus and desire to live fully for Him in every area of your life.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
This verse calls us to follow Jesus (“make disciples”) and then be baptized. Baptism is a public proclamation that you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior. This is a very important step in growing to “go public” with your faith in Jesus.
In the early church, water baptism accompanied one’s prayer of repentance from sin and also his or her belief in Jesus Christ by marking the moment in memory. It is the first mark of being a fully devoted follower of Christ.
Baptism occurs throughout the year at Family Bible Church. We encourage you to be baptized as soon as possible. Sign up for our short baptism class where you will learn what Scripture has to say about baptism and also gather information about your baptism day. This class will prepare you for and acquaint you with one of the most meaningful experiences in your Christian life!
Together, we will look at the biblical significance of baptism, help you prepare your testimony, and explain the details of the service. God has used baptism service as a public testimony to firmly seal the faith of many people. God will inevitably use your baptism and your testimony to lead other people into a personal relationship with Him. Some of these people could be your friends, family and neighbors!
