What is Baptism?
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus. When you are baptized at The Connection Church, you are fully immersed in water and brought back up to be celebrated and cheered on by your church family!
Why Should I Be Baptized?
1. To follow the example set by Jesus
“At that time Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John in the river.” Mark 1:9
2. Because Jesus commanded it
“Jesus said, ‘Go then, to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.’” Matthew 28:19-20
3. It demonstrates that I really am a believer
“…many of the people who heard Him believed and were baptized.” Acts 18:8
4. Because obeying Jesus’ command shows you know Him
“We know that we have come to know Him, if we obey His commands.” 1 John 2:3
At The Connection Church, we have Baptism Celebration every single week during our Celebration Services or at the river on special occasions. If you’ve taken the first step to follow Jesus, you’re ready to take this next step of going public with your faith!
