What is baptism?
Baptism is an important step for anyone who has chosen to follow Jesus. It’s a way of publicly declaring your faith and celebrating thenew life that Jesus gives. In the Bible, people who put their trust in Jesus were baptised as a sign that their old life was gone and a new life had begun. Baptism doesn’t make someone a Christian - it’s a response to the saving grace of Jesus and a declaration that He is now Lord and Saviour.
Who can get baptised?
Anyone who has chosen to follow Jesus and wants to publicly declare their faith.
Do I need to have everything sorted first?
No. Baptism is not about being perfect - it’s about putting your trust in Jesus and choosing to follow Him.
What happens during a baptism?
During a Sunday service, you’ll be asked a couple of simple questions about your faith and then gently lowered under the water and brought back up again as a celebration of new life in Jesus.
What should I wear?
Wear casual, modest clothes you don’t mind getting wet, and bring a change of clothes for afterwards.
Can my friends and family come?
Absolutely - we’d love them to celebrate with you. Baptisms are joyful moments for the whole church family.
I still have questions - can I talk to someone?
Of course. We’d love to chat, answer questions and help you explore whether baptism is your next step.
