What is baptism all about?

Baptism can raise a lot of questions. Why water? Why do it publicly? What is actually happening when someone is baptised?

This short booklet helps you explore the meaning of baptism and why Jesus calls His followers to take this step. It looks at what baptism symbolises, what it celebrates and how it points to forgiveness, new life and belonging to Him.

Whether baptism is new to you, something you are considering, or something you want to understand more deeply, this booklet will help you see why it matters.
