We believe in water baptism as a meaningful, obedient, and joyful public declaration of the inward transformation through faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism does not save — salvation comes by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). But it is a significant act of obedience for every born-again believer.
We practise believer’s baptism — the baptism of those who have made a personal, conscious confession of faith in Jesus (Acts 2:38; 8:12; 16:31-33). It is a three-fold proclamation: identification with the death and resurrection of Christ; testimony to the watching world; and obedience to Jesus’ direct command (Matthew 28:19). We celebrate baptisms with great joy.
