STEP one
SALVATION
Saying Yes! means you acknowledge that you have fallen short of righteousness and God's standard of holiness; we call that sin. Then, you believe and confess that Jesus paid for all sin by His death on the cross, and you want His payment to be applied to your life. You have repented (changed your mind, turned back toward God), confessed, and believed. That's all it takes to become a child of God. It is the beginning of a lifelong journey to become more like God, to love Him fully, and to live the life you were created to have.

STEP TWO
WATER baptism
Water Baptism is a public declaration of our identification with Jesus: His death, burial, and resurrection. By being water baptized, you are publicly declaring that you have died to yourself and have decided to follow Jesus Christ. Watch this short video by Pastor Wayne that explains this important step in your walk with Christ!
