Every person has a next step to take in their faith. We are here to help you discover and take yours.
FOLLOWING JESUS
God, I am SORRY
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
THANK YOU Jesus for dying for my sins so that I can be forgiven
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
PLEASE write the remainder of my story
“I tell you, who ever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged; but has crossed over from death to life.” John 5:24
Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. I believe Jesus was who He said He was and proved it by rising from death. I want to discover and begin following Your plan and purpose for my life. I want to get to know You personally.
BAPTISM
Because you want to follow Jesus’ example.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John in the river. - Mark 1:9
Because Jesus commanded it.
Jesus said, go then, to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. - Matthew 28:19-20
Because it identifies you as a follower of Jesus.
For all who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. - Galatians 3:27
WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED?
Every person who has made the decision to follow Jesus with their life! Those who believed and accepted His message were baptized... - Acts 2:41
WHEN SHOULD YOU BE BAPTIZED?
As soon as you have chosen to follow Jesus! You shouldn’t delay.
Those who believed...were baptized...that day. - Acts 2:41
HOW ARE WE TO BE BAPTIZED?
Jesus was baptized by being immersed in water. We baptize this same way. As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. - Matthew 3:16
As you begin to walk through this process, please know that we are here to help you each step of the way. Baptisms are held often at Purpose Church, so if you are ready to be baptized, or would like to talk to someone please contact us.
