Who Should Be Baptized
Christians believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when a person places his or her faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for his or her sin.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you are ready to be baptized. Just like a bride and groom show others their love for one another by wearing wedding bands, your baptism is your opportunity to show others that you have accepted Christ and are now walking with him.

What Baptism Symbolizes
Baptism serves as a powerful symbol of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, representing the transformative experience that occurred in your heart at the moment of salvation:
- Acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- Participation in His death and resurrection, symbolized by going underwater (signifying the end of your old life) and rising again (embracing your new life).
- Symbolic cleansing and forgiveness of sins through His sacrificial death on the cross.
Although baptism is not essential for salvation, it stands as an act of obedience to Jesus' command. Immersion reflects our belief that Scripture guides us to follow Jesus' example in publicly professing our faith in Him.
Making Your Video
One of the most impactful aspects of baptism at Shelter is the video testimony that precedes your baptism video presentation. This video provides a unique opportunity for you to share your journey of coming to know Christ as your Savior and how He has been actively shaping your life.
Recording your testimony in advance allows you to make as many attempts as needed to convey your message thoughtfully and prayerfully. You might wonder, "Is recording a video required?" The answer is yes if you wish to be baptized at Shelter.
Baptism is a public declaration of your faith, and it offers an incredible chance to share God's message of redemption with a wide audience. We have witnessed the profound and life-changing impact these videos have had on people's lives.
Another crucial reason for recording these videos is that they enrich our congregation's faith journey. They enable friends, family, and even strangers to celebrate the remarkable transformation Christ has brought into your life.
We understand that some may feel nervous about recording their stories, but we are dedicated to making the process straightforward and rewarding. The video will be recorded on the day of your meeting.
Our goal is to make your baptism a meaningful and enjoyable experience, and we eagerly anticipate sharing this journey with you!
