Baptism

We are so excited that you are interested in being baptized!

A baptism service is a thrilling and moving time for a church like Fairhaven. Baptism symbolizes a believer finding new life in Jesus Christ and publicly identifying himself or herself as a follower of Jesus.

We hope you invite lots of family and friends to witness your baptism and share in this milestone of your journey of faith.

Your baptism experience will focus on two simple questions:

  1. Have you received Christ as your personal Savior?
    We believe that only followers of Jesus Christ should be baptized.

  2. Why do you want to be baptized?
    You are free to provide a brief personal reflection on why you want to be baptized, or to answer as simply as, “Because Jesus commanded it and I want to be obedient.” Make whatever statement that’s meaningful to your situation. This is a great question to ponder, and one that can provide lasting motivation for living out your faith beyond the baptism experience.

Upon answering these two questions, the pastor will baptize you. We hope that at the moment in which you come up out of the water, you sense in your heart God’s pleasure at the step of obedience and commitment you have undertaken.

God bless you as you consider publicly identifying yourself as a follower of Jesus.
