What You Need to Know
Understanding Baptism
What Is Baptism?
Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and the new life we receive through Him. Baptism does not save us—salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. It is an outward expression of the decision you have already made in your heart.
Who Should Be Baptized?
Anyone who has personally placed their faith in Jesus and understands the meaning of baptism can take this next step.
Children who desire to be baptized will have an opportunity to talk with our ministry team before baptism.
What Should I Expect?
At ABF, we baptize by immersion, following the example of Jesus. Once you register, our team will provide everything you need to know, including what to wear, when to arrive, and what to expect.
Families may be baptized together when each person has personally made the decision to follow Christ.
