Baptism is an outward declaration of an inward, personal decision to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. We believe this is not only the essential next step in your faith, it’s something to celebrate!
If you’ve decided to say Yes to follow Jesus, but haven’t yet been baptized, we would LOVE to celebrate with you.
Our next Baptism will be on Sunday, June 5th
Water baptism declares publicly what has happened privately. Jesus already saved you!
For everyone who decides to follow Jesus, baptism is the next step. Anyone who commits his or her life to following Jesus is ready to be baptized (Acts 8:12) Whenever you're ready to celebrate this life changing decision, we'll be ready for you!
We have some parent guides to make the conversation much easier.

We advise parents to wait until their child is asking to be water baptized. This is usually a good indication that they are ready to be baptized and that it will be a spiritual milestone in their life. While younger children under the age of seven can have a relationship with Jesus, they will not necessarily remember or understand the significance of the event, so we encourage parents to wait for baptism until they are a little older. Going through our kids baptism class helps to make sure kids understand the decision they're making.

The pandemic required a change in our method but not our message. Watch this video clip of Pastor Barnette explaining our method of baptism during this time.
Baptism is a safe way to share that you have decided to follow Jesus Christ. To be baptized means to be submerged underwater. Affusion is a method of baptism where water is poured on the head of the person being baptized.
Congratulations! You've made the decision to follow Christ and have been baptized into God's family..but what happens next? We pray you connect to a group of believers to help hold you accountable along your journey. Use your personal time to grow a deeper understanding of God's Word.
Becoming a Christian doesn't mean the trials will end, you simply have added the best teammate to your roster!
