BAPTISM

EVERYONE IN CHRIST IS A NEW CREATION

What is Baptism?

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example.


When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.

Baptisms at Good Shepherd

Our Baptism Celebrations take place on Celebration Sunday mornings, usually at the end of the service. It’s an incredible moment in our service as we celebrate those going public with their faith through baptism together!
