THE PRACTICE OF BAPTISM
For those seeking to be baptized, baptisms are scheduled weekly at each of our worship services. During a baptism an individual has the opportunity to share with the worshipping community their decision to follow Jesus Christ. Baptism is a picture and an illustration—a symbolic act. It illustrates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ on our behalf and our subsequent faith in Him. It is not necessary for salvation but is strongly associated with salvation as it best illustrates our new identity with Jesus Christ.
HOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR BAPTISM
At the conclusion of each of our worship services, we invite you to stop by our Connection Center. One of our Connection Team members will assist you in getting signed up for our next baptim service. Pastor Melissa will also be available to answer questions you may have and give you more information on baptism.

Once you have scheduled your baptism, please arrive 30 minutes before the worship service in the Baptismal Suite.
