Baptism models the power of Jesus Christ. Jesus came and was baptized, commanded His disciples to be baptized and to baptize others. We get together as a Citylight Family, as one church, once a year in the summer because we want to put on display the person and work of Jesus Christ, to tell people about this God who is alive, and show real evidence that He is still moving in people’s lives.
Jesus is seeking and saving lost people. When lost people step into this saving grace and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, these people then go public with their faith and declare that they have been buried with Christ and risen in new life. We celebrate baptism as a way of celebrating and worshiping a real God who is powerfully working, saving, and transforming!
It brings us no greater joy to gather as a family and celebrate that Jesus is ruling and reigning over it all.
