What is baptism, and do I need to be baptized?

Baptism is a public picture of a believer's faith in Christ — going down into the water and rising again, symbolizing dying to sin and rising to new life. Baptist churches in Long Beach baptize people after they've trusted Christ, not before. Ask the pastor if you'd like to know more.

Can I just observe without participating?

What's the difference between the kinds of Baptist churches?

In Long Beach you'll find independent fundamental Baptist (IFB), Southern Baptist (SBC), and other Baptist churches. They share core beliefs — the authority of Scripture, salvation by grace through faith, and believer's baptism — but differ in affiliation, music, and worship style.

Will I be pressured to give money?

What does a church believe about the Bible?
