Water baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Baptism goes all the way back to Jesus, and we do this to follow His example. We practice baptism by immersion in water to identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Water baptism is a public declaration that you are a follower of Jesus Christ and beginning a new life in Him.
At Hillcrest, doing life together is what church is all about. We encourage everyone to get connected in a LifeGroup. Sharing life through authentic community is part of what you are create for. But meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why life groups exist - to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
