Baptism is a celebration of the work God has done in you. It's an opportunity for you to declare that you belong to Jesus. This is a step of obedience Jesus calls us to take, affirmed by the Apostles (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:38-46).

Anyone who believes in Jesus! Once you've stepped over the Faith Line, this is the next step on your path of discipleship.
