Baptism
Baptism is a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life — a visible picture of an invisible, spiritual reality. Being baptized shows others that you’ve decided to follow Jesus and allows them to celebrate this decision with you (Acts 16:31-34).
Jesus instructs us to be baptized and He modeled baptism for us (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 1:9).
Obedience to Jesus shows we believe and follow Him (1 John 2:3). Because Jesus went public about His love for us, we can go public about our love for Him. Being baptized shows that we’re turning away from a life of sin toward Jesus — the only one who can change us (Acts 2:38-41).
Baptism is for those who have professed faith in Jesus Christ and can give sufficient testimony to the basics of Christian beliefs. If you are unsure if this is you, please contact one of our pastors.
If you are interested in being baptized at Harmony, please sign up for one of our baptism classes. This class explains what baptism means to us and the commitment that is involved.
