Baptism (going fully under the water and coming back out again) is a symbolic act that Jesus tells Christians to do (see Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:16). Although, it's only something we need to do once.

Going under the water reminds us (and show others) that we have died to our old life. As we come back up again, we're reminded (and show others) that we've been raised to a new life in which we now live for Jesus. It's as simple and complicated as that.

If you are a Christian (old or new!) and haven't been baptised yet or have questions about your baptism at another church or in another Christian tradition, please fill out the form below and we'd love to talk with you more!
