At Central, we believe that baptism is an important step in the life of a believer. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change, publicly declaring what Jesus has already done in your life. Baptism by immersion is a beautiful way of identifying with Jesus, symbolizing death, burial and resurrection. It’s a way of declaring to the world your love for and allegiance to Christ.
Baptism Celebration
We’re excited to hold our next baptism celebration here at Central on Sunday, Nov. 14th at 4:00pm!
If you’re interested in getting baptized, you’ll need to attend a baptism class. Please check out the class schedules under whichever tab (adult, youth, children) fits you and sign up!
For general information about baptisms, email our Pastor of Community Life, Neil Downey.
