Water Baptism

An important next step in your journey!

If you have recently accepted Christ or rededicated your life to the Lord, we would love to celebrate with you as you take your next step through water baptism. Baptism services are conducted each quarter during church services.

About Baptism

We celebrate baptism during frequently at FRDM, and you’re invited to celebrate with us at our next Baptism Service.

Why Baptism

You should be baptized to follow the example set by Jesus, because Christ commands us to be baptized, and because it demonstrates you are a true believer.

Mark 1:9

Matthew 28:19

1 John 2:3

The Meaning

Baptism in water illustrates Christ’s burial and resurrection in the same way it illustrates your new life as a believer. Jesus was baptized by immersion and the word “baptize” literally means “dip under water.” Baptism by immersion also symbolizes a burial and resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15:3

Colossians 2:12

2 Corinthians 5:17

Is It for Me?

Everyone who accepts Jesus as Savior should be baptized.

Children

A level of spiritual maturity and understanding should exist before baptism; our practice is to children be baptized at no younger than 10 years old. This helps ensure their baptism is a spiritual marker in their life that they will remember.

Acts 8:12
