Baptism is the act of going public with your faith in Christ.
Not only was Jesus baptized, but He commanded his followers to be baptized by the church.
Why get baptized
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. It symbolizes the death of
our “old self” and the start of our new life in Christ. We do not believe that baptism
saves anyone, but it is commanded in scripture.
(Matthew 28:19-20).

What does baptism look like at Crossroads?
We know Christians practice baptism in a variety of different ways, but we believe
the most biblically-faithful model is to be immersed in water after you have
personally repented and trusted in Christ for salvation.

When should I be baptized?
Baptism is intended to take place after someone gets saved. Baptism does
not finish someone’s salvation, but rather it is the act of letting the church
and the world know that you have been saved.
