BAPTISM

A new life with Jesus

Baptism is a beautiful expression of faith: a public declaration that you have chosen to follow Jesus and begin a new life with Him.

Whether you’ve been part of Advent Hope for years or are just beginning to explore faith, we would be honored to walk with you as you consider this meaningful step.

I’M INTERESTED IN BAPTISM

What is baptism?

Baptism is a way of publicly saying, “I have decided to follow Jesus.”

Throughout the New Testament, people who put their faith in Jesus responded by being baptized. Jesus Himself was baptized, and He invited His followers to baptize others in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

At Advent Hope, we practice baptism by immersion—being lowered beneath the water and raised again—as a symbol of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

Going beneath the water represents leaving our old life behind. Rising from the water points to the new life we have in Christ.

What does getting baptized at Advent Hope look like?

01 — Let us know you’re interested

Fill out our baptism interest form. This isn’t a commitment to be baptized, it simply lets us know you’d like to begin the conversation.

02 — Prepare for baptism

Before baptism, we’ll spend time together exploring the foundations of Christian faith and what it means to follow Jesus as part of a community of faith. There is room for questions. Our goal isn’t to rush you through a process, but to help you make a thoughtful and personal decision.

03 — Celebrate your baptism

When you’re ready, we’ll plan your baptism during one of our Sabbath worship gatherings.

Baptism is both deeply personal and beautifully communal. Your church family gets to witness your decision, welcome you, pray for you, and celebrate the new life you have in Christ.
