Water Baptism is one of the most significant milestones in a believer's walk with God. Baptism is an act of obedience, confession, and identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus..
We encourage every born-again believer to take this step of obedience and faith by getting baptised. Ready to be baptised? Indicate your interest in the form below and we will be in contact with you.
If you’re planning to get baptised, you’re required to attend
a compulsory 3-lesson preparatory course.

Where does it say in the Bible that we should be baptised in water?
Jesus Himself was baptised by John in the River Jordan at the age of 30 just before the beginning of His public ministry, leaving behind an example for his followers. (Matt. 3:13-17).
Jesus told His disciples after His resurrection and just before He was taken up to heaven that they should go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to observe all that He had commanded them (Matt. 28:18-20).
The disciples obeyed Him and preached baptism along with the gospel (Acts 2:38). When people repented from their sins and believed in Jesus, they were baptised in water (Acts 2:41; 8:12, 38; 9:18; 10:48; 16:15, 33; 19:5; 22:16).
How should Water Baptism be conducted?
Total immersion in water is the way Jesus received His baptism. It also gives the symbolic picture of “burial” and “resurrection.” However, special consideration will be given to those who suffer from physical difficulties or health impediments.
Does one have to be baptised in order to be saved?
When a man repents from his sins and believes in Jesus, his sins are forgiven (Rom. 10:9-10). He is saved from the guilt of his sins.
Then he can testify through baptism what he has already experienced. Baptism follows salvation. It is not baptism that brings the forgiveness of sins, but repentance and faith in Jesus.
I was baptised when I was a baby. Now I have become a believer in Jesus.
Do I need to get baptised again?
We believe that Water Baptism should follow after repentance and a decision to place one’s faith in Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord.
The baptism of an infant is a decision made by the parents. Since infants cannot make the decision to repent or place their faith in Jesus, infant baptism is considered more of a ritual. If you were baptised as an infant, you can choose to be baptised again now as a born-again believer to declare your faith. Because when you were baptised as an infant, you could not make a conscious choice to be a disciple of Jesus.
