Embracing a New Beginning
At Second Church of Christ, baptism is a sacred and significant step in one's spiritual journey. It symbolizes the washing away of the old self and the birth of a new, spiritually reborn individual.
Why We Believe in Baptism
A Testament of Faith: Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith. It is a public declaration of one's belief in Jesus Christ and commitment to follow His teachings.
Following Jesus’ Example: Jesus Himself was baptized, setting an example for all His followers. We believe in emulating His actions as a way of living a life that honors Him.
A Scriptural Command: Baptism is instructed in the Bible. It’s a step of obedience to the commands of Christ and a vital part of the Christian faith as stated in Matthew 28:19-20.
