What is Baptism?

Baptism is the "next step" after salvation and committing your life to following Jesus Christ.

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. It’s a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection.

Marion Campus
Baptisms are held on the first Sunday every month, and the Thursday directly before. Our baptism class is held on the last Sunday of every month during the 11:30am service in The Gathering Place. You can also take the class on Thursday evenings at 6:00pm in the same location.

Baptism is a big deal and we want to make sure you fully understand the commitment you are making! Plus, we want to make sure you understand all the logistics of the day and hear stories of others who are experiencing life change. This class is required to be baptized.
