Take the next step into baptism.
Baptism is the public marker of an inward decision. If you’ve chosen to follow Jesus, we’d love to take this step with you. New to faith, or still deciding? Start with the gospel here.
An outward sign of an inward turn.
Baptism is a symbolic act, a public profession of faith in Jesus. At New Hope it’s 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 decision behind it carries the rest of a life.
Anyone who has chosen to follow Jesus.
If you’ve decided to follow Jesus, baptism is your next step. We baptize people of almost any age.
When the day comes, we’ll gather around you.
Baptized at New Hope.
Each sign marks someone’s baptism day, and we celebrated every one.
