Getting Ready
The Ethiopian asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” Philip began to speak. He started with this same Scripture and told the man the good news about Jesus. While they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. The officer said, “Look! Here is water! What is stopping me from being baptized?” Then the officer commanded the chariot to stop. Both Philip and the officer went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:34-38
When a person admits that they are a sinner and turns to Christ for salvation, the Bible says the watching world needs to know. Baptism has always stood as a public statement of belonging to God.
When people become followers of Jesus, they realize their sins have separated them from God. They have given up all efforts to reach God through good works or doing religious things. They have decided that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross for their sins is the only thing that can bridge the gap between them and God. A believer is someone who has decided to trust Christ alone for their salvation.
If you have come to this point in your life, and were not baptized as an infant, then you are ready to be baptized. You are ready to show the world, through Baptism, your belief and commitment to Jesus.
If you are interested in being baptized, then you need to print the Baptism packet, read through it, and fill out the form. All packets must be returned by May 17th of those interested in being baptized on May 24th.
