Baptism symbolizes a believer finding new life in Jesus. It’s a public declaration, where someone identifies himself or herself as a Christ-follower. At Fairhaven, we’re thrilled to see people being baptized every month. Here are some of the reasons people are getting baptized:
Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and I want to take the next step.
I want to make a public declaration of my relationship with Christ.
I’ve strayed from my faith. This is me coming back.
I was baptized as an infant, but now as an adult, it’s different.
I’ve grown to a better understanding of who Jesus is and what He did for me.
