Understanding Baptism

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, we invite you to be baptized into a new life with Him.

To help you understand what the Bible teaches about baptism, we have included several Scripture references below. Simply click to read them, or follow along in your own Bible.

Baptism is the first act of obedience after a person accepts Jesus Christ as Lord (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 8:12) and is born again of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9).

Baptism is also a visible illustration of a believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

What About Infant Baptism?

Many faith traditions celebrate the birth of a child through baptism. Here at Peoples, we offer family dedication instead—and with it, we celebrate the extended circle of support provided by family and friends who are welcoming the child into their lives.

Family dedication can be done at any age, until a child is ready to personally accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and be baptized.
