Since water baptism is a public declaration of new life in Christ, we want baptisms to be a part of our Sunday gatherings so that our church family can witness and celebrate this step in the life of the believer. The last Sunday of every other month is "Baptism Sunday".
In Romans 6:3-4 Paul speaks of water baptism in this way:
”Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
- Romans 6:3-4

Water baptism is our public IDENTIFICATION with Jesus after we place our faith in Him for our salvation.
It means we have turned from the old life of sin to a new life in Jesus
It means we are publicly identifying with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus
It means we are openly joining the ranks of those who believe in Jesus
The entire symbolism of a funeral followed by a resurrection pictures a complete renunciation of our old life and acceptance of a new one!

Before Jesus ascended to heaven after His resurrection, He told his followers to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). For followers of Christ, being water baptized is an act of obedience to Jesus and a celebration of their new life in Him. Every believer should seek to be water baptized as a necessary step in their discipleship to Jesus.
