Is Baptism Your Next Step?

Life is full of next steps, each one bringing us closer to the God who created us and loves us. If you’ve made the decision to follow Christ, one of the most valuable next steps you can take is baptism.

What Is Baptism All About?

Baptism is a symbol of what Jesus did for us
Baptism is a public declaration of your faith
Baptism is about following Jesus’ example

When we go into the water, we’re reminded of Jesus’ death on the cross and His sacrifice for our sins. When we come out, we celebrate His resurrection and the new life He gives us. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision—a powerful testimony for our friends and family.

When you make a life-changing decision, you want to tell everyone about it! Baptism is an opportunity for you to celebrate with your friends and family and tell others about the hope you’ve found in Jesus… And we want to help you do that! Think about who you want to celebrate with you, and we’ll save you some seats!

Matthew 3 shows us that Jesus chose to get baptized before starting His ministry here on Earth. When we make that same choice, we’re living how Jesus lived. Later, in Matthew 28, Jesus told His followers to go and baptize others. As we get baptized and baptize others, Jesus’ message of love spreads around the world.

What Does Baptism Look Like at Wellspring Church?

Baptisms take place once per quarter during each of our four services over “Rooted Weekend”, during the first half of the service during worship. They are done in the main sanctuary and will be broadcast to the entire congregation.

If you sign up to be baptized, your pastor will reach out and tell you when to arrive at church and any other details you need to know. When you arrive, you’ll check in and receive instructions for the celebration. You are welcome to arrive in the clothes you wish to be baptized in, or you can use our restrooms to change when you get here. Your pastor will walk you through getting in and out of the baptism pool.

You’ll be guided throughout the entire process, and your pastor will be available to answer any questions you have. When your celebration is over, you are welcome to change clothes and re-join your friends and family for the remainder of the service.

Still have questions?

We’d love to walk you through it.

If you have questions about baptism or what to expect, we’re here to help. Our team would be happy to answer your questions, talk through the process, and help you take your next step with confidence.

We hope to celebrate your baptism with our church family because your story can encourage others to take their next step of faith. However, we also understand that not everyone is comfortable being in front of a large group or on camera.

If you’d prefer to be baptized in a more private setting or at a different time than one of our scheduled baptisms, let us know. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
