As a Baptist church, Broadmead practices believers’ baptism—a public declaration for those who have personally put their trust in Jesus.  

Baptism is celebrated within the church family as a sign of new life in Christ and belonging to His people, alongside the Lord’s Supper as a regular pattern of discipleship. 

Believer’s baptism is a Christian practice in which a person who has personally trusted in Jesus Christ (a believer) is baptised as a public expression of their faith. It’s an outward expression of an inward act of repentance. 

It is…

1 – Baptism for believer 

“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day” Acts 2:41 

2 – Public declaration of faith

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord, ”and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved” Romans 10:9 

3 – Symbolised in union with Jesus’ death and resurrection (dying to self and being made alive in Christ) 

“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” Romans 6:4
