At FBC, we believe that baptism is an important part of the journey in our faith as baptism is an outward symbol of an inward change. Through being immersed and coming out of the water, we identify Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. With this act modeled by Christ (John 1:29-34), we give testimony to the fact that the old has passed away for us, and that he is making all things new. Furthermore, Jesus’ final words in Matthew 28, include the admonition that we should be drawing people to Christ and “baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
