Buried with Christ,
raised to new life.

Baptism is how a follower of Jesus goes public with their faith. Here is what it means, when the next one is, and how to sign up.

An outward sign of an inward change.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change: identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. We practice believer’s baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith.

It is one of the two ordinances Christ instituted for the Church, alongside communion (Acts 2:38; Mark 14:22-24). Salvation is by grace, freely offered through Jesus. Baptism is how you tell the world it has already happened.

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4

Questions people ask first.

Who can be baptized? +

Anyone who has put their faith in Jesus Christ. We practice believer’s baptism: it follows your own decision to trust Him, so it is a declaration you make for yourself.

Do I have to be baptized to be saved? +

No. Salvation, redemption and forgiveness are freely offered through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9). Not earned, only received. Baptism is the outward expression of that inward change, and Jesus asks everyone who follows Him to take that step (Matthew 28:19).

I was baptized as a baby. Should I be baptized again? +

We practice believer’s baptism by immersion, which follows a personal decision to follow Jesus. If you were baptized before you came to faith yourself, we would love to talk it through with you. Send us a note below.

What happens on the day? +

In Calgary, baptisms happen during a Sunday service, in front of the church family cheering you on. Cochrane has held baptisms in the river.
