GET BAPTIZED

The Bible clearly teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience after making a commitment to Jesus Christ. Making a decision to follow Jesus when no one is looking is significant, but there’s something powerful about publicly declaring, in front of family and friends, that you’ve given your life to Christ. To get more information, begin our Bible Plan and read our FAQ. Both will walk you through what the Bible says about baptism as a Next Step for a believer!

Next baptism sunday:
Phoenixville - December 1st
MONTGOMERYVILLE - December 8th

It illustrates Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection: “Christ died for our sins…He was buried…and He rose again.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) 

It illustrates my new life as a Christian: “When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17) 

// WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BAPTISM?

To follow the example of Jesus: “At that time Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John in the river.” (Mark 1:9) 

Because Jesus commanded it: “Jesus said, ‘Go then, to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you.'” (Matthew 28:19-20) 

// WHY SHOULD I BE BAPTIZED?

The New Testament shows no example of baptism when the person did not request it. All instances of baptism followed an individual’s decision to trust Jesus alone for their salvation (Acts 2:41; 8:12; 10:47-48). At Journey, we wait until the child is old enough to believe and understand the true meaning of baptism before we baptize them. When a child makes the decision for Christ, we gladly baptize them into the Christian faith. We also believe that if you have not experienced adult baptism, even though you have experienced baptism as an infant, the full meaning and significance of baptism has yet to take place in your life. We strongly encourage you to be baptized as an adult believer!

// WHAT ABOUT CHILD AND INFANT BAPTISM?​

As soon as you have believed. Acts 8:12 says, “But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the names of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”

// WHEN SHOULD I BE BAPTIZED?

Because Jesus was baptized that way: “As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water.” (Matthew 3:16)

Every baptism in the Bible was by immersion: “…both Philip and the man went down into the water and Philip baptized him…” (Acts 8:38-39) 

The word “baptize” means “to dip under water” 

// WHY BE BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION?

Every person who has believed in Jesus Christ. A believer is someone who has realized that their sin has separated them from God. They have given up all efforts to reach God through good works or religious activity. They have concluded that Jesus’ death on the cross for their sins is the only thing that can bridge the gap between them and God. A believer is someone who has decided to trust Christ alone for their salvation. If you have come to that point in your spiritual journey, then you are ready to be baptized! (Acts 2:41; 8:12-13)

// WHO SHOULD BE BAPTIZED? ​​

The Bible clearly teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience after making a commitment to Jesus Christ. Making a decision to follow Jesus when no one is looking is significant, but there's something powerful about publicly declaring, in front of family and friends, that you've given your life to Christ. This Bible plan will walk us through what the Bible says about baptism as a next step for a believer!

serve on a team

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He came to serve, not to be served. As His followers, we know we’ve been called to do the same. In a culture that is plagued with consumerism, we believe that when we give our life away, we actually find life.

We want to stay organized and efficient with every teammate who joins the team! One way that we do this is by using a service called Planning Center.

HOW DO I GET SCHEDULED?

Typically we ask people to serve twice a month. We want you to have the opportunity every other week to bring friends & family to church!

HOW OFTEN WOULD I SERVE?

In the scheduling website/app we use (Planning Center), there’s an option to let us know before we make the schedules if you’re unavailable on a given date.

WHAT IF THERE'S A SUNDAY I CAN'T SERVE?

Joining a Group at JRNY is the best way to dive in and get connected! In Groups you will spend time meeting together with people in the church that are looking for ways to grow deeper in their faith as well as meeting people to do life with. 

You can join a Bible Study Group where you can share a meal or snack together and dive into God's word through a Bible plan, the current sermon series, or a book or curriculum that the leader has chosen. We also offer activity style groups! If you have a hobby or sport you love, do that activity with people that also enjoy it! Maybe you love running, or want to learn a new sport, or there is a skill that you want to learn to do... Find a Group that focuses on that and start building community with them.
