Baptism

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith—something that follows a person’s trust in Christ. Again and again, Scripture says, 'They believed and were baptised.'

In baptism, you symbolically leave your old life behind and step into the new life Christ offers. It represents:

• Obedience to Christ’s Command: Baptism is a tangible way to follow Jesus’ instruction and publicly demonstrate your commitment to Him.

• A New Beginning: Just as water cleanses and renews, baptism signifies the washing away of past mistakes and the start of a fresh, purpose-filled life in Christ.

Community Celebration: Baptism is a shared moment of faith. It connects you with a community that will support and encourage you as you grow in your relationship with Jesus.

At Gracecity, we see baptism as a significant and transformative step in your faith journey. Whether you are new to faith or have been following Jesus for some time, baptism is an opportunity to affirm your commitment, reflect on your journey, and celebrate the hope of renewal in Christ.

Our pastors and ministry team are here to answer any questions and guide you through this meaningful decision.

Baptism at Gracecity takes place during a gathering where your church community can celebrate with you. Here’s what to expect:

• A Short Conversation: Before baptism, one of our pastors or team members will chat with you to hear your story and answer any questions.

• A Public Declaration: During the baptism, you’ll have the opportunity to share a brief statement about your faith (if you’d like to).

• The Baptism Itself: You’ll be gently lowered under the water and then brought back up—symbolizing leaving behind your old life and stepping into new life in Christ.

• A Time of Prayer & Celebration: After baptism, we’ll pray for you and celebrate this incredible step of faith with our church family!
