Baptism

GO PUBLIC WITH YOUR FAITH.

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 about following Jesus' example.

In Matthew 3, 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.

Baptism is a symbol of what Jesus did for us.

When we go down into the water, we’re reminded of Jesus’ death on the cross and how His sacrifice covered our sins. When we come out of the water, we’re reminded that three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death and securing eternal life for us. Baptism is a symbol—not just for us, but for our friends and family as well—that the old is gone and the new has come.

Baptism is about going public with your faith.

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.

What does Baptism look like at PaulAnn?

Each PaulAnn service lasts one hour, and baptisms happen during the first half of the service during worship.

If you have signed up to be baptized and met with a pastor, they 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 your free baptism t-shirt and box.

After receiving your items, you’ll change into your baptism t-shirt and extra clothes. Our baptism team will be there to guide you throughout the entire process, and your pastor will be available to answer any questions you have.
