BAPTISM
If you've decided to follow Jesus, water baptism is a great next step in your faith journey. It's a public, outward declaration of the decision you've already made to follow Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection (Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:1-4). It's also a powerful reminder that the old is gone — God has saved you, and He will be faithful to continue the work He has started in your life.

Am I ready?
Anyone who believes in Jesus, acknowledges His death on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins and the means by which we're brought back into right relationship with God, and has entered into a relationship with Him should be baptized. Still not sure? Check out the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.
Why should I get baptized?
+
If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, the next thing the Bible tells us to do is to be baptized (Matthew 28:18-20). The old you is symbolically buried in the water, and the new you is raised up, just as Christ was raised from the dead (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12). Baptism is not the act by which we are saved — it is an outward sign of what Christ has already done in our hearts.
When and where do I get baptized?
+
Our next baptism celebration is Sunday, August 30 at The Gathering Place. Sign up below and we'll walk you through everything you need to know for this special moment.
What if I was baptized as an infant?
+
Infant baptism is a meaningful tradition in many churches where a child is welcomed into the faith community by their parents' choice. You can be thankful for that spiritual heritage. Believer's baptism is your own decision after choosing to follow Jesus, and it represents the new life God is doing in you.
What should I wear when I'm baptized?
+
We understand there can be some real concerns about going underwater in public. When you sign up we'll send all the details — what to wear, what to bring, and what to expect. If you forget something, we've got you covered.
I was baptized as an adult, but want a fresh start. Can I be baptized again?
+
This is a common question, and you're not alone in feeling this way. Jesus Christ died for all of your sins — past, present, and future (Hebrews 10:14) — which means you don't need to be baptized again to be fully forgiven. If you'd like to talk it through, we'd love to sit down with you.
Is my child ready to be baptized?
+
Every child is different. Just as with adults, a decision to follow Jesus comes before baptism. Look for outward signs of an inward decision to follow Christ. Our Kids Crossing team would love to partner with your family — reach out and we'll help walk through it together.
