Baptism

I have accepted Christ as my Savior BUT HAVE NOT BEEN BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION. I have already been baptized by immersion since becoming a follower of Christ.

MY TESTIMONY OF PERSONAL FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
In order to become a member, you need a clear testimony of personal faith in Jesus Christ. Please follow this outline to write your testimony.

Before Christ...

Spend a brief time on “before.” This is not a biography from childhood. It is best to start at a time that relates to your experience with Christ.

BEFORE I TRUSTED CHRIST, MY LIFE WAS...

I Trusted Christ...

Be as specific as possible about surrendering your life to Christ. What was happening at the time? How did Christ get your attention? If possible, share the month and year you were saved.

THIS IS HOW, WHEN AND WHY I TRUSTED JESUS CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR...

My Life Now...

Be practical. Explain how Christ has changed your life. Share how you are growing in your walk with Christ.
