Baptism

Water baptism represents faith found in Jesus Christ. It is a sacrament, or ordinance of the early church that continues today. It is an outward sign of an inward spiritual reality of faith in Jesus alone for salvation.

What is Baptism?

Baptism is an act of obedience to the commands of Jesus found in Matthew 28:19- 20.

When a believer is immersed into the waters of baptism, it is a visible picture of the believer’s death to sin, and the burial of an old life.

The coming up from the water symbolizes the resurrection to the new life that is in them through Christ Jesus our Lord.

In following the pattern of Scripture, our general practice is baptism by immersion.

Who can be baptized?

How can I be baptized?

All who believe should be baptized. (Acts 8:1216:31-3418:818:36-38). Believing in Christ Jesus requires repentance, faith, and confession on the part of the one being baptized (Acts 2:3822:16Romans 10:9-10).

Children who understand the Gospel and can articulate their faith can be baptized at CF.

If you would like to be baptized at CF, please let us know!

Contact us and a pastoral team member will be in touch to set up a consultation. After that meeting, your baptism can be scheduled for a Sunday service at CF.
