Baptism is a Step of Surrender.

Baptism is your public declaration that Jesus has changed your life. It’s a meaningful step of obedience that reflects surrender, trust, and new life in Christ, celebrated together as you follow Him forward.

🏳️ The Surrender of Baptism
Baptism is a powerful step of surrender. Jesus calls every disciple to be baptized after salvation, and through this act you publicly declare your faith and begin a life shaped by obedience, trust, and following Him fully.
💧 A Command From Jesus
Baptism was given by Jesus as part of His mission for every believer. In Matthew 28:19, He commands His followers to make disciples and baptize them. When you choose baptism, you step into that calling.
📷 A Picture of the Gospel
Standing in the water reflects the life Jesus lived for you. Going under represents His death and burial, and rising again reflects His resurrection — and your new life through faith in Him.
👐🏽 A Posture of Surrender
Baptism may feel unusual or uncomfortable, but that’s part of its beauty. When you obey publicly, even when it stretches you, you begin learning the lifelong posture of trusting Christ above your own preferences.

BAPTISM IS FOR

Anyone Who Follows Jesus

Baptism is for anyone who has made a personal commitment to follow Jesus. In Scripture, people who believed were baptized as a response to their faith, and that same invitation stands for you today.

New Believers

If you have recently placed your trust in Jesus, baptism is your next step. It is a clear and joyful way to demonstrate that decision and celebrate it with your church family.

Renewing Your Faith

Sometimes you may reconnect with Jesus in a deeper way after years away. Even if you were baptized as a child, baptism can become a meaningful celebration of your renewed commitment to follow Him.

Children & Students

Children who have personally decided to follow Jesus are welcome to pursue baptism. We offer a class to help parents process readiness, and final discernment rests with you as the parent.

Child Dedication Distinction

For very young children who have not made a personal decision to follow Jesus, we offer Child Dedication Sundays. This allows you to publicly commit to raising your child to know and follow Christ.

What to Expect

Taking your next step into baptism is simple and guided. From initial interest to baptism day, you will be supported and prepared so you feel confident and ready to celebrate publicly.

01

Let Us Know

The process begins when you let us know you want to be baptized. You can complete a Next Steps form or register directly through Upcoming Events to select a service time.

02

Connect with a Pastor

After registering, a pastor will contact you to hear your story and share details about the upcoming baptism weekend. This conversation helps you feel prepared and encouraged.

03

Baptism Day

On baptism day, you’ll arrive about 40 minutes before service. Bring a towel, shorts, and dry clothes. We provide a t-shirt so you can focus fully on celebrating what God has done.
