  • Does Baptism Save Me?

    No, water baptism doesn't save you -- but it’s a powerful next step for anyone who’s decided to follow Jesus.

  • Can I Get Baptized Privately?

    Baptism is an outward sign of the change He’s made on the inside, and a public way to say, “I belong to Him.” Generally, it’s best to allow baptism to be your public testimony! We promise to be sensitive to any insecurities you may have - so please don’t hesitate to speak with your pastor!

  • What’s the Bible Say?

    In the Bible, we see followers of Jesus getting baptized as a bold step of obedience and a symbol of new life! You can read a few verses here.

  • What’s with the dunk tank?

    We baptize with full immersion; when you go under the water, it’s a picture of leaving the old life behind -- and when you come up, it’s a picture of the new life you now have in Christ.

  • Will I have to talk?

    This is your confession of faith, so yea. However, you have the benefit of knowing exactly what we’re going to ask you -- so you can be as prepared as you’d like to be! (the video walks you through this).

    We will ask you two simple questions:

    1. How did you meet Jesus?
    2. Why do you want to be baptized?
