Baptism is an important part of your walk with God. In fact Jesus commanded His decisples to "teach all nations and baptizing them in THE NAME of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19. Acts 4:12 states that there is only ONE NAME under heaven by which we can be saved. Peter commanded in Acts 2:28 that EVERYONE be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS . Baptism idenitfies us with Jesus burial(Romans 6:4). Coming forth from the watery grave of baptism and receiving new life in the Holy Spirit identifies us with His resurrection.
What is baptism? What is the purpose of baptism? Why should I be baptized? What if I was already baptized in titles(Father, Son and Holy Spirit)? If you find yourself asking any of these questions, don't worry you are not alone and it is ok to ask these questions. The great news is that the Bible is really clear about how we should be baptized, the purpose of baptism. Let's learn more.

As a Christian parent, by dedicating a child to the Lord, you are acknowledging your need for God in your family; inviting God to be active in your family life; submitting your own desires for your child to God’s desires for him/her; making a commitment to raise your child in God’s way.
We believe that your child is not only yours, but truly a gift from God. We are earthly stewards of the life God has placed in our home. “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate” (Psalm 127:3-5).
