Baptism

At Northwood we know people often have questions regarding baptism. Why should I be baptized? I’ve already been baptized, do I have to do it again? Does it matter if you are sprinkled or dunked?

Answers to these commonly asked questions are found in the Bible. We believe it clearly teaches us that baptism is the first step of obedience after making a commitment to Christ. Baptism allows a Christ-follower to communicate to the world their heart-felt commitment to Christ. It is truly a celebration and outward expression of our inward relationship with Christ.

By attending the Newcomer’s/Church 101 class you will hear what Scripture says about baptism and find answers to many of your questions. We also recommend you attending a connection group after attending Church 101. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
