Baptism

You Were Made For This

Baptism is how you say, out loud and in front of the people who love you, that you belong to Jesus now.

Why Baptism

Baptism can feel like a big step, especially if you're not sure you're "ready." Baptism isn't a reward for having it all figured out. It's a response to what God is already doing in you.


Jesus himself was baptized, not because he needed cleaning up, but because he was showing us what obedience looks like. When you go under the water, you're telling the truth about something real: the old version of you is done, and a new one is here. When you come back up, you're not just wet. You're declaring, in front of the people who love you, that you belong to Jesus now.

Next Baptism Sunday: Nov. 8

Registration includes a short Baptism Class the same morning, one hour before your service.


We'll cover what baptism means, what to expect in the water, and answer any questions.


Baptism Classes are held in the Big Room, just outside the Atrium.

Questions You Might Have

If you were baptized as a baby, or before you really understood what it meant, we'd encourage you to be baptized again — this time as your own choice, reflecting your own desire to follow Jesus.

Whichever one lines up with the service you're being baptized in.

If you are being baptized at the 9:30 am service, attend the 8:30am class. If you are being baptized at the 11:30 am service, attend the 10:30am class. Registration will confirm your time.

Wear dark clothing and something you don't mind getting wet, a towel and a change of clothes. We'll have a place for you to change afterward.

Yes! Baptism is meant to be seen. Invite the people who've walked this road with you.

Anyone who is a Christ-follower and has already been baptized (family member, a friend, or a staff member, etc).
