About The Event
Why Get Baptized?
Water baptism is a public act that followers of Christ engage in for a few reasons:
1. When we get baptized we are publicly declaring: “I am a follower of Jesus Christ!” Christ himself began his ministry by being baptized. Matt 3:13-17
2. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Roman 6:3-4
3. Baptism is a commitment to turn away from the practice of sin. Acts 2:38-39
4. Baptism is an outward show of an inward change. I Peter 3:21
5. Baptism is an act of obedience. Matt 28:19-20
Why dedicate my baby? Baby dedication goes as far back to Hannah dedicating her baby, Samuel, who would become a prophet to the children of Israel. 1 Samuel 1-21-28
We dedicate our children to the Lord because:
1. We acknowledge to God and others that our children come from God and they are a blessing. Psalm 127:3
2. Dedicating our babies to the Lord can be a signal that “God, you are welcome in this family.” Joshua 24:15, “we will serve the Lord!”
3. Dedicating our children to the Lord represents that we will commit to raise our children in the way and will of God. Eph 6:4, Prov 22:6-9
