Congratulations on taking the first step of faith! Now, let's dive deeper into the beautiful symbol of baptism.

Baptism is more than just a ritual—it's a profound expression of our faith journey. Rooted in biblical tradition, it symbolizes the inward transformation that occurs when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. Just as Jesus died and rose again, baptism signifies our old self being buried with Him and our new life emerging in Him.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus himself was baptized by John the Baptist as an example for all believers. It's a public declaration of our commitment to follow Christ and a powerful testimony of His redeeming work in our lives.

At Upward Christian Fellowship, we cherish the opportunity to celebrate this significant step with you. Whether you're an adult making a decision to be baptized or a parent whose child has recently accepted Jesus, it's a moment of profound significance.
