Water Baptism is an incredible demonstration of your new life in Christ! When you get baptized, you’re publicly declaring your faith in Jesus and letting the whole world know your totally committed to following Him. If you’ve been thinking about getting baptized, we’d love for you to check out this page for more info and register for our next Water Baptism (date TBD).
Water Baptism is for anyone who has become a believer and follower of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We encourage all who have made a decision to follow Christ to be Water Baptized. It is part of being a disciple (disciplined follower) as taught by Jesus: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
If you haven't taken this faith-building step yet, then we encourage you to do so at our next Water Baptism Sunday—which takes place at our Montclair & Rockaway campuses during all services (date TBD)! This day of celebration will be highlighted by people, just like you, making an outward expression of their inward change!
If you were baptized as an infant—but have made a decision to follow Christ as an adult—we encourage you to be Water Baptized based on your new personal faith.
Water Baptism is a beautiful picture of what our Lord has done for us. As we are completely immersed in the water, we symbolize burial with our Lord; we are baptized into His death on the cross and are no longer slaves to self or sin (Romans 6:3–7).
When we are raised out of the water, we are symbolically resurrected—raised to new life in Christ to be with Him forever, born into the family of our loving God (Romans 8:16).
Water Baptism also illustrates the spiritual cleansing we experience when we are saved; just as water cleanses the flesh, so the Holy Spirit cleanses our hearts when we trust Christ.
Our next Water Baptism Sunday has yet to be determined, but stay tuned for updates—and register below to be a part of it!

A celebration! As people like you take that next step in their faith, our entire church rejoices! In addition, our aim is to always provide you with a safe and transformative ministry experience—by employing our customary best practices.
