Water Baptisms
About Water Baptisms
Water Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation.
When Christians are baptised, they are submerged under water to identify with the death & burial of Jesus & raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, & you are part of a new family.
Baptism is an outward expression of what you have already decided in your heart.
At Oasis Church, we want every person to grow in their walk with God, we believe that this is best done in community. Our desire is that everyone who is baptised at Oasis would be connected in relationship within the church.
Baptism at Oasis may be your first step in being integrated into our community, we would love to have you along to our Sunday services and see you grow in a connect group.
