Getting baptized is a big decision! Learn more about the importance of this significant decision in your faith walk.
I remember the day I was baptized like it was yesterday. Although I felt a bit nervous, my overwhelming emotions were excitement and joy. This was the next step in my faith journey, publicly proclaiming my decision to trust Christ. I made this choice in my teens, but now in my 30s, surrounded by loved ones and friends, I was ready to take the plunge. Emerging from the water, Christ's resurrection felt more tangible than ever—a profound symbol of the new life I had in Jesus. It was truly a mountaintop experience!
As time passed and that mountain top high faded, I realized I needed to take the next step. But where to begin? Do you ever wonder about that? Do you long for the support and guidance of those who have been on this faith journey for a while? If you're like me, your answer is a resounding "yes." Thankfully, Grace offers several ways for you to take that next step and find the support and guidance you are looking for. Explore the resources below to discover the perfect avenues to help you get equipped, connected, and serving in our community.
Three Steps After Baptism
Cultivate a Habit of Connecting with God.
God's foremost commandment is to love Him above all else. Loving someone means seeking a relationship with them. This could involve setting aside daily quiet time before work, starting a new Bible plan, or engaging in constant prayer throughout the day, acknowledging Him. Cultivating a habit of connecting with God is the cornerstone of our spiritual journey after baptism.

Surround Yourself with Trusted Friends Who Know Jesus.
Life is challenging when faced alone. Having companions who walk with you on your journey is crucial for staying on track. God made us social beings, no matter how introverted you might feel.
