Baptism

If you are interested in being baptized or learning more about baptism, please contact Nancy Snyder, , or 512-869-1310, ext. 1000.

We believe in "biblical baptism."  What does that mean?  For us, it means to follow the command of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded."  We see baptism as a natural step in the discipleship process. It’s a choice a believer makes to publicly identify with Jesus, proclaiming faith in Him as Savior. Biblical baptism is a decision that each believer makes individually, not a decision that parents make for their children.  Baptism doesn’t save you, but it is a declaration that you have been saved and that you want to align yourself with the family of God in Jesus Christ.

As an interdenominational church, we do not focus on the mode of baptism, only the act of obedience as believers. We encourage baptism by immersion because of the beautiful symbolism it represents of a person’s physical body being buried in death with Christ, then raised to new spiritual life with Christ forever. However, we know that people come from different traditions and also may face physical limitations. Therefore, you may choose the mode of your baptism.
