Raised to Life in Christ: Get Baptized at Pelham
Baptism is a meaningful act of obedience for every believer. While it’s not what brings salvation, it serves as a public declaration of our decision to follow Jesus and live according to His Word. Through baptism, we symbolize the forgiveness of our sins and the new life we’ve received in Christ. It’s a joyful celebration, a significant and memorable moment that marks a new chapter in a believer’s journey of faith.
16 "And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord."

Baptism is a powerful symbol of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. It represents the transformation that takes place when you begin a new life in Christ. Your old life is gone, and you are raised to live renewed in Him (Colossians 2:12). Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, baptism reflects the new life you now walk in as His follower.
While baptism itself doesn’t make you a believer, it is a meaningful step of obedience, a public declaration of the inward commitment you’ve made to follow Jesus.
