What is baptism?
Baptism declares to the world you’ve trusted Jesus, joined God’s family, and made a commitment to follow Jesus, heart and soul. It’s pretty special! If you have never been baptized after salvation, baptism is your first step!

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. It’s a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life. Being baptized shows others that you’ve decided to follow Jesus, and allows them to celebrate this decision with you. Baptism doesn’t save a person; it’s a symbol and celebration of salvation.

Why should I be baptized?
Why does baptism matter? Jesus instructs us to be baptized and set the example by being baptized (Matthew 28:19-20Mark 1:9).


When’s the best time to be baptized?

Do you baptize children?

Any instance of baptism follows a person’s decision to trust Jesus for his or her salvation and commitment to follow Him. At Calvary, we wait until children are old enough to express their own decision to follow Jesus and understand the meaning of baptism.
