Baptism
Baptism is a public declaration of your decision to follow Jesus. It's a way to tell the world that your life belongs to Him and celebrate the new life you have in Christ. If you've made that decision, we'd love to celebrate with you.
A public
declaration
Baptism doesn't save you. Jesus does. Baptism is a way to publicly say, “I have decided to follow Jesus.” Baptism is a picture of the new life you have in Christ. Going under the water represents the death and burial of your old life, and coming up out of the water represents the new life you've been given through Jesus.
Jesus was baptized and instructed His followers to be baptized as well. Baptism is a way to publicly identify with Jesus and share your decision with the people around you. It's also a moment your church family gets to celebrate with you and continue walking alongside you.
Why It Matters
We exist to see people far from God discipled into a passionate relationship with Jesus. Baptism is an important step in that journey. It's an opportunity to publicly declare your faith and celebrate the life change Jesus has brought.
Who Can Be Baptized
Anyone who has decided to follow Jesus and understands what that decision means. There's no waiting period or perfect testimony required. If you're not sure whether you're ready, we'd love to have a conversation with you and help you take your next step.
What to
expect
-
A Conversation First
Before you're baptized, someone from our team will sit down with you, hear your story, and answer your questions. There's no test and no perfect answer. We just want to make sure you understand what you're saying yes to.
-
Bring Your People
Baptism is a celebration, and we want the people who have supported you along the way to be part of it. Invite your family, friends, and anyone else you'd like to have there to celebrate with you.
-
Simple and Meaningful
You'll be baptized by a pastor and briefly go under the water as a picture of your old life being buried and your new life in Christ. Wear something you're comfortable getting wet in. We'll provide a baptism shirt, towels, and a place to change.

Your Next Step
Baptism is an important step in your journey with Jesus, but it's not the end. We'll help you find your next step into community, discipleship, and a growing relationship with Jesus.
I have
decided
Ready to take the next step? Let us know you've decided to follow Jesus and want to be baptized, and we'll reach out with the details and the next available date. Still deciding or have questions? That's okay. Reach out and we'd love to talk.
Take a
Next Step.
Around here, we believe that church is meant for more than showing up on a Sunday. Wherever you are in your journey, there's a next step for you.
A hospital for sinners,
not a museum for saints.
