Baptism
the Next Step in Your Faith Journey
Baptism is a significant step in the life of every believer—a public declaration of your faith in Jesus Christ and a symbol of your commitment to follow Him. At Elim Church Northampton, we believe in the importance of baptism as an act of obedience and a powerful testimony of God’s work in your life. Here’s what you need to know about baptism with us:
1. Meaning and Significance
Baptism symbolises your identification with Jesus Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It represents the washing away of your sins and the beginning of a new life in Christ. Through baptism, you publicly declare your faith in Jesus and your desire to live for Him.
2. Who Can Be Baptised
We welcome individuals of all ages who have made a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour to be baptised. Whether you’re a new believer or have been walking with Jesus for years, baptism is a meaningful step in your faith journey.
3. How Baptism Works
Baptism at Elim Church Northampton typically takes place during one of our Sunday services. You will have the opportunity to publicly declare your faith before the congregation and be baptised by immersion in water, following the example set by Jesus in the Bible.
4. Preparation and Support
Before being baptised, we encourage you to participate in a baptism class or meet with one of our pastors to discuss the significance of baptism and answer any questions you may have. Our team is here to support and guide you through the baptism process, ensuring that you feel prepared and confident in your decision.
5. Celebrating Your Decision
Baptism is a joyous occasion that we celebrate together as a church family. It’s a time of rejoicing in the work that God has done in your life and affirming your commitment to Him. We encourage you to invite your friends and family to witness this special moment and join in the celebration.
