Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Jesus. It’s an outward expression of the inward transformation that happens when someone chooses to follow Christ. In baptism, we celebrate the new life Jesus gives—symbolizing leaving the old life behind and being raised into a new life with Him. If you’ve decided to follow Jesus and haven’t been baptized yet, we would love to walk with you through this important next step in your faith journey.
"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
Romans 6:4
A few key biblical reasons:
Jesus was baptized and calls His followers to be baptized
It is a public declaration of your faith
It symbolizes new life in Christ
It is a step of obedience in your walk with God
Baptism is for anyone who has personally decided to follow Jesus. If you have put your faith in Christ and want to publicly declare that decision, baptism is your next step.
At Pacific Community Church, our baptisms take place twice a year on Easter Sunday and at Crescent Beach during the Summer months. Our baptisms take place during our 10am service, where baptism candidates share their testimony of faith in person or on video.
If you are ready to get baptized, contact Pastor Diane to sign up for our next baptism class, where you can learn more about what it means to take this step.
