It’s Time to Say Yes: Celebrate New Life in Jesus!
Have you ever wondered why Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized? In Matthew 28:19, He says,
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Baptism is more than just a symbol. It's a powerful, visible sign of God's grace at work in our lives — a celebration of new life in Christ. And at New Hope Church, we believe that baptism is a foundational part of following Jesus.
For adults, baptism is a public confession: "I belong to Jesus." It’s a tangible moment of declaring that you have chosen to follow Christ with your whole life. It often comes right after someone makes a decision to trust Jesus for the first time — an outward demonstration of an inward transformation.
But baptism is even more than that.
It’s a welcoming into God's covenant community — the Church.
It’s a sign of new life, where the cleansing waters symbolize that the old life is gone and the new has begun.
It’s the start of a new chapter where you publicly proclaim:
"My faith story begins today!"
At New Hope, we also baptize infants and young children. In these moments, parents step forward to say, “We are committed to raising this child to know and love Jesus.” It’s a declaration that God's grace is already moving in their lives even before they can fully understand it.
And even if you were baptized a long time ago, you are invited to remember your baptism — to reaffirm your commitment and celebrate the work God has done and is still doing in your life. Life takes many turns, and sometimes, it’s powerful to stand once again and declare, “I am still all in for Jesus!”
Join Us for Baptism Celebration & Commitment Sunday
On Sunday, June 1, we’re gathering for a special day at New Hope Church — one service followed by a baptism celebration in the courtyard.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Be baptized for the first time, by immersion or sprinkling.
Remember your baptism if you’ve already been baptized.
Make a bold public statement that your life belongs to Jesus!
This is more than a moment — it’s a movement.
It’s our chance as a church family to say with full hearts:
“I’m ALL IN with Jesus — in every way!”
If you've never been baptized, now is the time.
If your heart longs to renew your commitment to Christ, this is your day.
Don't miss the opportunity to say to the world, “This is who I am!”
👉 Ready to take your next step?

We can’t wait to celebrate this life-changing moment with you.
