Baptism shows the world what Jesus has done.
If you or someone you love has recently placed their faith in Christ, the next step would be to get baptized - an outward step of obedience to physically proclaim what Christ has done in your life.

FAQs
What is the meaning of baptism?
Baptism is a visual and symbolic demonstration of a person’s union with Christ in the likeness of His death and resurrection. It signifies that a person’s former way of life (unbelief) has been put to death and depicts a release from the mastery of sin. (Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:3-4)
Who should be baptized?
Baptism is for the individual who has received the saving benefits of Christ’s atoning work and become His disciple. Therefore, in obedience to Christ’s command and as a testimony to God, the church, oneself, and the world, a believer should be immersed in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:41)
Why should I be baptized?
Baptism is obedience to God’s command in Scripture (Matthew 28:18-20). It is mentioned 70 times in the New Testament. Jesus himself was baptized as an example for us (Matthew 3:16-17), and baptism gives evidence that a person is a disciple of Christ (Acts 2:38-41).
Why is it important that I be baptized by immersion?
Believer’s baptism by immersion was the early church method described in the Bible. Descriptions such as “plenty of water” (John 3:23), “came up out of the water” (Mark 1:5,10), “went down… came up out of” (Acts 8:38-39), make clear that immersion was the practice. No mode of baptism more clearly articulates the centrality of the Christian message (of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus) than immersion.
Who can perform baptism?
Contrary to some traditions, there seems to be no biblical reason to limit the person baptizing to a pastor who has been ordained to vocational ministry. Therefore, (at the discretion of our lead pastor, staff pastors and elders) we allow any believer who has been baptized, male or female, to perform the ordinance of baptism during our Sunday morning gatherings.
How often does Storyline perform baptism?
At Storyline, we celebrate baptisms several times throughout the year during our Sunday morning gatherings as a church. If you would like to know specific upcoming dates, please contact us and one of our staff members will connect with you.
