Baptism at Hope Downtown
At Hope, baptism is an outward expression of an inward reality: being united with Christ in His death and resurrection. Through baptism, we celebrate the new life we have in Jesus, symbolized by being lowered into the waters and raised out of them as a picture of His resurrection.
