About Baptism
Baptism represents the beginning of your new life in Christ. It’s a powerful symbol of leaving behind your old self and stepping into the new life God has for you. Similar to a wedding ring, baptism is an outward expression of an inward commitment—a declaration of faith that you live out each day.
