For everyone who decides to follow Jesus, baptism is the next steps. Anyone who declares Jesus as their Life Leader and Sin forgiver is ready to be baptised (Acts 8:12).

Baptism in the Bible was performed by immersion, just as Jesus was baptised—immersed in the water and then rising from it (Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10). Immersion symbolizes our death to sin and our old way of life, while emerging from the water represents the new beginning that Jesus offers us (Romans 6:3-5). This act beautifully illustrates both the transformation Jesus has brought into our lives and serves as a powerful reminder of His death and resurrection.

If you were baptised as a child, it reflects your parents' desire for you to grow up following Jesus. We honor that intention and believe it’s wonderful! Now, we invite you to take the next step with baptism by immersion, making a personal commitment to your faith. Even if you’ve been walking with Jesus for years but haven’t yet been baptised by immersion, we encourage you to consider this important step in your journey.

As parents, we can guide our children toward Jesus through our own lives, but ultimately, they must decide to make their faith their own and commit their lives to Him. Romans 10:9 reminds us, "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." At Grace, our goal is for your children to make a personal decision to follow Jesus and to truly understand the significance of baptism. If your child is interested in being baptised, we’d be happy to begin this conversation with you. Our team is here to support both you and your child as you journey together towards this meaningful step.

All candidates are baptised by a Pastor, Elder, or staff member at Grace. If you have someone who has made a significant impact on you spiritually (e.g. small group leader, parent, mentor, close friend), they are welcome to stand with you and baptise you on this special day.
