WATER BAPTISM
What is Baptism?
We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family. Learn about the significance of baptism and how you can be baptized at Greenville First.
