Baptism at New Hope
Take the next step into baptism.
Baptism is the public marker of an inward decision. If you have chosen to follow Jesus, this is a step we would walk with you. New to faith, or still deciding? Start with the gospel here.
What it is
An outward word for an inward turn.
Baptism is a symbolic act, a public profession of faith in Jesus. At New Hope it is also a family moment: a congregation gathered, voices raised, a person stepping into water and stepping out into the long, slow work of following Jesus.
The act itself takes about a minute. The decision behind it carries the rest of a life.
Who it is for
Anyone who has chosen to follow Jesus.
If you have made the decision to follow Jesus, you are ready. We baptize high schoolers, college students, adults of every season, and kids whose families have walked them through what it means.
However long you have walked with Jesus, this is a moment we would gather around.
