Your personal step of faith
Baptism is an important declaration of faith that shows others we have decided to personally trust Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptised when He was on earth, and we do this to follow His example.
When Christians are baptised, they are submerged under water to symbolise both the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross and also His conquering of sin, death and His resurrection to new life.
When we go through the waters of Baptism, we identify with and fully realise the leaving behind of our old life; habits, struggles, tendencies and are empowered to step fully into our new life in Christ with the prayer and support of our church family.
