When and Where?
Baptism Services are scheduled during regular worship services on the first Sunday of each month.
Biblical Reasons for Baptism
Jesus commanded us. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them ..." (Matthew 28:19 NKJV)
To confess Jesus publicly."Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32 NKJV)
To join the fellowship of the church. "Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them." (Acts 2:41 NKJV)
To follow Christ's example."When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him." (Matthew 3:16 NKJV)

WHAT IS BAPTISM?
- Public profession of a person's faith and trust in Christ as evidenced in Acts 8:12 and Acts 8:25-38.
- Symbolism of Christ's own death, burial, and resurrection as described in Romans 6:3-5
- Christ's own Baptism in Matthew 3:13-17.
- Christ's Commandment to be baptized in Matthew 28:19-20.
WHY SHOULD I BE BAPTIZED?
- Christ commanded it. He was the example. It was for obedience.
- It was the pattern of the early church. We see it throughout the Book of Acts (2:37-41; 8:12; 8:36-39; 10:46-48)
WHAT MUST I DO TO SCHEDULE MY BAPTISM?
Individuals who have accepted Christ as their Savior and wish to follow in obedience by being baptized should call the church office at 561-746-4447 and schedule an appointment with one of our pastors. Following this appointement, a date will be set for you to be baptized.
