WHAT DOES BAPTISM MEAN?
It's not just a tradition. It's a step of faith.
For 2000 years, Christians have been baptized to declare to the world that they are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. Taking the plunge is a significant step in your spiritual journey. If you’re ready for this public demonstration of your personal devotion, join us for our summer baptism event on Aug. 4, 2019.
I’m Ready!
So, you want to take the plunge and proclaim your faith in Christ? Here are your next steps:
Prepare
Please watch this video. It is designed to help you understand the significance of baptism and will help determine if you are ready to be baptized. We also ask that you read Baptism 101
Invite Others
Our next baptisms will be held on August 4, 2019.
Ask your friends and family to come to this event! Baptism is a significant step in your spiritual journey and we want you to share it with those close to you.
Note: Families are welcome to register together, but as baptism is an important personal decision, we ask that only children ages 11+ enroll. Children 10 and younger should register for a Family Baptism Class.
