At Port City Community Church we consider it a privilege and honor to mark a moment in your journey walking with God through baptism. We believe baptism to be a public celebration of a private decision and confession of your need for a savior.
"The official asked Philip, 'Tell me, of whom is the prophet saying this? Of himself or of someone else?' Then Philip began to speak; starting from this passage of scripture, he told him the Good News about Jesus. As they traveled down the road, they came to a place where there was some water, and the official said, 'Here is some water. What is to keep me from being baptized?' The official ordered the carriage to stop, and both Philip and the official went down into the water, and Philip baptized him." - Acts 8:34-38 TEV
It is evident from the verses above that baptism is important for followers of Christ. It is not an act of salvation. Its purpose is to allow you as a believer in Christ to publicly declare your need for a Savior and to celebrate your decision to accept the Good News of Christ as your Savior.
