frequently asked questions

WHY IS WATER BAPTISM SO IMPORTANT?
Baptism is a public declaration of your personal commitment to follow christ and obey Him as Lord of your life. Water baptism is not a means for salvation but an act of faith and obedience after repenting from sin and turning to God.
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WATER BAPTISM?
In the Bible, baptism shows the old life (a life of sin) being put away and a new life (committed to following Christ) emerging. In water baptism, we personally identify with Christ’s death and resurrection, we publicly profess our faith in Jesus, and we become a part of the community of Christ-followers (the church).
WHO SHOULD BE WATER BAPTIZED?
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are ready to be baptized. Baptism is your opportunity to show others that you have decided to follow Christ. In the Bible, water baptism immediately follows a personal decision to repent and follow Jesus. If you were baptized as an infant or young child, we encourage you to reflect on whether that was the moment you decided to follow Christ. As you explore Scripture and the example of the early church, you may find that baptism is your next step of faith.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
We recommend wearing comfortable, dark-colored shorts and bringing a towel. We'll give you a T-shirt to wear during your baptism. Invite your friends and family to join you in celebrating this special day! 
WHAT IF MY CHILD WANTS TO BE WATER BAPTIZED?
We baptize children when they’re old enough to understand what it means to repent of their sins and turn to God, starting at eight years old. Babies and younger children are invited to participate in our Baby Dedications. For more information, please talk to our Grace Kidz Director.
