WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN OR INFANTS?
At Liberty, we wait until children are old enough to understand and believe the true meaning of what it means to be a follower of God and be baptized.
READY TO BE BAPTIZED?
Baptism is a significant teaching in the Bible. Jesus Himself was baptized, and then He taught His followers to teach others and baptize them. Your baptism is an opportunity for you to celebrate your faith and let others know that you are trusting Jesus for your salvation. While baptism does not save you, you will know that you have done what Jesus told His followers to do.
