ABOUT WATER BAPTISM

Once we believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died and rose again for our sins, and trust him to forgive us and give us a fresh start, our next step is to follow him in water baptism! 

• Water Baptism is an opportunity to tell the world that you are dying to your old way of life and becoming a new person in Christ (John 3:1-21). 

• Water Baptism is a beautiful expression of this because you go into the water dry, and you come out covered in water, looking like a completely different person.  (2 Corinthians 5:17)

• Matthew 3:17 tells us that when Jesus was water baptized, The Father expressed how proud he was of Jesus.  So, Water Baptism is also an opportunity to hear God say to you: “You are my child, I’m proud of you, and you please me.”

WHAT TO EXPECT

We believe Water Baptism should be a celebration! In fact, scripture declares that all of heaven rejoices when a person turns from their sins to follow Jesus (Luke 15:7).

• On Baptism Sunday, we set up our Water Baptismal in the Lobby, and baptize people after the second service of the day. Much of our church stays to watch and celebrate with you.  We also encourage you to invite your family and friends to witness this special moment with you!

• On the day of your baptism, our team will provide you with a black Comeback City t-shirt to get baptized in. This is our gift to you, and we also provide new black shorts and a towel for you to dry off with.  

• Our restrooms will be turned into changing stations during this time so that participants can change out of their church clothes and into their baptism clothes. 

• Although we have all the items you need to get baptized, our goal is to make you to feel comfortable. If you’d like to bring your own change of clothes to get baptized in, you are welcome to do this!
