Following Christ in Obedience
Baptism is a public testimony of what Christ has done in your life as a Christ-follower. It is a symbolic picture of death, burial and resurrection--and new life! When you are baptized, your are obeying Christ's command in the Bible for all believers, and you are telling the world that Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life. No matter what your age or background, baptism is a natural and important step in your journey as a Christ-follower.

Baptism at Brook Hills
At Brook Hills we believe that biblical baptism is symbolic--it doesn't "save" you--but also that it's very important in the life of every believer. It's a symbol of both your commitment to Christ and to His church. We require that those desiring membership at Brook Hills be baptized--either previously at the time of your commitment to Christ, or when you desire membership at Brook Hills.

Because baptism is a public display, our baptism practice also requires each candidate to commit to a brief video testimony to accompany your baptism. Now don't get nervous if you don't like video cameras--our great volunteer and staff team will make your video testimony painless and enjoyable. This video testimony extends to all ages (parents, you can benefit from a great learning experience when helping to prepare your child for their baptism testimony).

Preparing for Your Baptism
We suggest two great resources as you pray about and prepare for baptism, both available online for download.

Baptism: More Than Just a Symbol is a message by Dr. David Platt explaining the biblical foundation for baptism how our church's practices reflect and honor Christ's command to be baptized.
