Water baptism is a powerful and meaningful step in your walk with Jesus.

At Shofar East London, we see baptism as a public declaration of an inward decision – a moment where you boldly express your faith in Christ and your commitment to follow Him.

Romans 6:3-4
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Through baptism, we identify with Jesus in His death and resurrection. It’s a beautiful picture of leaving behind your old life and stepping into the new life you have in Him — forgiven, restored, and made new.
