What is Baptism?

Baptism is an outward expression of an internal change – a demonstration of faith that showcases our trust in Christ.

Whether you’ve spent your life in and around churches or not, chances are good that you’ve at least heard of baptism. Do you fully understand it, though? During baptism, we are immersed in water before a supportive congregation of believers, publicly symbolizing the death of the lives we’ve lived devoted to sin. When we re-emerge from the water, it symbolizes our birth into new life in Jesus… and offers us a wonderful reason to celebrate!!

PLEASE NOTE: We believe that Baptism should be the decision of the person being baptized, therefore we typically suggest that children under the age of 9 may not be ready to be baptized. If you have questions regarding this, please call 951-696-1002.

Please feel free to write your testimony, one person in each service will get to read it out loud to the Church body. Thank you.
