Baptism is an important step in following Jesus. It symbolizes one’s death to sin, burial of the old life, and a resurrection to new life in Christ — just as Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose to life again (Romans 6:3-5). Here are the prerequisites before being baptized.

Confess your sins: Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your sins to God. If you do, He will forgive you (1 John 1:9).

Repent of your sins: Repentance involves turning away from sin and turning toward God. When Peter preached to the people in Jerusalem on Pentecost, he told them to “repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38).

Believe on Jesus Christ: Accept Jesus as your Savior from sin. When Philip met an Ethiopian and told him about Jesus, the Ethiopian wanted to be baptized. Philip asked him if he believed, and the Ethiopian replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” He was then baptized (Acts 8:37-38).

It is also important when choosing to being baptized at HHC, you are familiar with and in agreement with our core Tenants of Beliefs as follows. Please read through the Statement of Faith and sign the form below:

Please Read & Check Each Statement of Faith *Statement of Faith*About Us: We are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. We are the ultimate object of God’s love. Although we have the potential for good, everyone is marred by an attitude of rebellion toward God called sin. Sin separates people from God.About Salvation: Salvation is a gift from God to all people. Men and women can never make up for their sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can a person be saved from sin’s penalty.About the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He teaches, comforts, and empowers us to experience Christ-like character. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.About Baptism: Water baptism serves as a public statement that we have made a choice to follow a new life in Christ. Baptism symbolically represents the burial of our old way of life, and the resurrection of our new life as a Christian, under God’s leadership.About Marriage and Relationships: Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between a man and a woman. Every Christian should seek friendships with other Christians for service, accountability, and worship. This is primarily done through establishing one’s self with a local church body.The Bible: The Bible is God’s instruction to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures are inspired by God, and are infallible and without error. They are the unique, full and final authority on all matters, and there are no other writings similarly inspired by God.About Eternity: People are created to exist forever. Every person will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. When we are separated from God by sin, we are eternally apart from Him. When we are in union with God though Christ, we eternally exist with Him.
