Why baptism?
Water baptism is a public declaration an individual makes which identifies with Christ's death and resurrection, leaving behind our former lives of sin, and proclaiming a new life of living in Christ. As a church community, we get to stand with that individual, celebrating the work God has done in their life up to that point and believing for all that is to come on their continued journey with Jesus.
Romans 6:1-4 "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
