Baptism is a significant step of obedience and public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. It symbolizes the believer's death to sin, burial of the old life, and resurrection to a new life in Christ, as represented by immersion in water. This  act is based on the command of Jesus, as seen in passages like Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs his disciples to baptize in the name of the father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Romans 6:3-4, which speaks of being baptized into Christ's death and rising to walk in newness of life. 

​

At Calvary Christian Center, they take this commitment seriously and offer mandatory classes for individuals who wish to be baptized. These classes are designed to help believers understand the  significance of baptism and the type of commitment they are making. The classes cover foundational Christian beliefs, the meaning of baptism, and the responsibilities of becoming a follower of Christ.
