Baptism
FAQs
-
Baptism represents Christ’s death (being submerged under the water) and resurrection (being raised up out of the water). It doesn’t make you a believer - it demonstrates you already believe. It doesn’t “save” you; only your faith in Christ does that. Much like a wedding ring is a symbol of marriage, wearing one doesn’t make you married. So it is with baptism. Baptism is an outward representation of an inside change.

Jesus was baptized by John in Mark 1:9. When we are baptized, we follow the example He set for us. By being baptized like He was, we demonstrate we really are believers. Additionally, Jesus told us we should be baptized. “Jesus said, ‘Go then, to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.’” Matthew 28:19-20

Head to the Fireside Room 10–15 minutes before the worship service begins. The Fireside Room is inside the Worship Venue, just to the right after entering the front doors, behind our New Here Desk. There, you’ll meet your Baptism Host who will walk you through what to expect, when to go up, and where to change.
Baptism Sunday
There’s nothing more exciting than watching people take their next step of faith. On Baptism Sundays, our entire worship experience centers on celebrating new life in Christ and the public declaration of faith. If you’re interested in being baptized, a staff member will connect with you to help guide you through the next steps.
If you’ve given your life to Jesus but haven’t been baptized, this is your moment. Baptism is the outward symbol of the inward change that comes when you trust Christ. It’s your way of saying to your church family and the world, “I belong to Him.”
