Baptism

Through baptism, we share what God has done in our lives, and we commit to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. 

The word "baptize" comes from the Greek word "baptizo" which means "to dip or immerse" under water.  When a person is baptized, it represents his or her identification with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.  It is an outward symbol of a person's inner faith and decision to be a committed Christ-follower.
