Baptism
Celebrate new life in Christ through baptism, a joyful act of faith, obedience, and public declaration of the gospel.
Why Get Baptized
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. It is the public declaration that you have decided to follow Jesus and trust Him as your Savior.
At BattleCreek Church, we believe baptism is the next step of obedience after salvation. It symbolizes being raised to new life in Christ, leaving behind the old and stepping into the new.
