The Foundation
Salvation & Baptism Basics
At Peaceful Zion, we believe that salvation is a free gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ — His death, burial, and resurrection for our sins. It cannot be earned; it can only be received.
How to be saved: Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of God's grace. Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life (Romans 10:9-10).
Baptism: We practice believer's baptism by immersion — a public declaration of your faith in Christ and your identification with His death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism does not save you; it is an outward sign of an inward transformation.
Ready to be baptized?
Speak with Pastor Woodbury or a member of our pastoral team after service, or contact us to schedule a time to talk.
