Baptism “Day of” Instructions
We are so excited about your upcoming baptism! The video above will explain some day of details that will be useful. We have added many of the same notes and a few extras below if you need to review them quickly.
We suggest arriving early for service and sitting towards the front on the right hand side of the Worship Center.
A dark colored t-shirt and shorts/swim trunks are great for being baptized in, please bring a towel and extra change of clothing.
After the sermon, we’ll invite all those being baptized to go into the green room through the double wooden doors at the front right hand side of the sanctuary. You’ll have about ten minutes to change.
When in the tank, the person baptizing will share some encouraging thoughts and lead you through three affirmations. The affirmations and your responses can be found below.
The video above demonstrates how to hold your hands and shows two example baptisms. If you have any questions feel free to ask a pastor in the green room.
After your baptism head back into the green room, dry off, change and then return to your seat in the sanctuary.
Thanks for sharing this special day with us!
