What is Baptism?
Baptism is a sacred ceremony marking the initiation into the Christian faith. Through baptism, individuals are cleansed and reborn in Christ, embracing a new life as a member of the church community. This sacrament is a powerful symbol of purification, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation.
The Significance of Baptism
Baptism is an act deeply rooted in tradition, honoring the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is a profound expression of commitment to God and the community of believers. By participating in baptism, individuals publicly declare their faith and embrace the teachings of Christ, seeking spiritual growth and salvation.
The Rituals of Baptism
Baptismal Preparation
Prior to the sacrament, individuals and families undergo a period of preparation. This includes learning about the significance of baptism, understanding its rituals, and reflecting on personal faith journeys. At United City Church, we provide educational resources, spiritual guidance, and support throughout this process.
