What is Baptism?
We believe everyone has a next step in their relationship with Jesus. If you've surrendered your life to Christ, then baptism is your next step! Baptism is an outward expression, a public declaration of your faith in Jesus as your Lord and savior. Jesus was baptized and he asks us to follow after him (Matthew 3:13-17, Luke 3:21-22, Matthew 28:19-20).
At the River, we require that you take a class to understand more of the "why" behind baptism. We want to prepare you for this next step and come alongside you to succeed.

Baptism Class
Since baptisms are held on the first Sunday every month, our baptism class is held on the last Sunday of every month at 11:15am in the lobby.
Baptism class is required to be baptized. This is something to celebrate and prepare for. We want to make sure you fully understand the step you are taking! We'll also spend time walking through the logistics of your baptism day and listening to the stories of others who are experiencing life change.
