Why should I get baptized? I’m really embarrassed to admit this, but when I was in fifth grade and about to get baptized in front my entire church, I was terrified. “Why should I get baptized?” panicky, 10-year-old me wondered. I was a pretty weak swimmer, so being dunked under water (for who-knows-how-long) by the pastor at my church was not something I was excited about, to say the least. Despite my doubts, I knew that getting baptized was important. I just didn’t know exactly why. So find out in our new baptism class!
