Water Baptism FAQ's

Why be baptized?

Those who are baptized are following Jesus’ example and obeying His command.

Matthew 3:16–17, Matthew 28:18–20

What is the significance of baptism?

Water baptism is a public declaration of three very important things:
1.You are a follower of Jesus Christ.“
 —Acts 2:41
2.You are beginning a changed life in Christ.     
 —Romans 6:4
3.You are part of a new family. 
—Galatians 3:26–27

I have already been baptized. Should I be baptized again?

Your baptism should have signified you becoming a follower of Jesus, beginning a changed life, and uniting with a new family. If your baptism did not reflect this change of life, then you should be baptized again.

Can my child be baptized?

We will baptize anyone over age 7 who understands what baptism symbolizes and wants to make that personal public declaration. We encourage any parents to partner with our Pines Kids and Pines Students ministries to guide your children through these decisions of faith.
