We know the word “baptist” has cultural baggage for many in NW Indiana. We happily pray for the health and growth of other churches in our area, baptist or not, and consider every church that believes and teaches the Bible to be on the same team. For us, Jesus is our identity, not being baptist. But Jesus also tells us to be baptized, and we take His command seriously. In fact, we believe the Bible teaches that every Christian should be baptized by immersion to show what Jesus has done in their heart.
