Baptism

WHAT IS BAPTISM?

When you get baptized, you are publicly declaring the message of salvation: Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again to bring you new life. It is the outward proclamation of your internal change.
Not perfection but surrender.

We die to our old self, old habits, and past sins. Jesus has given us a new life. Baptism is not just a commitment we have made to follow God; it also makes our faith public to our friends and family.

"...and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God..."
1 Peter 3:21

IS BAPTISM MY NEXT STEP?

..."having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through your faith in the working of God..." ~ Colossians 2:12

Following Jesus is a journey, and if you’ve said yes to Him as your Savior, baptism is your next step.

Baptism is an Outward Expression

Baptism isn’t meant to be done in private—it’s a celebration! We encourage you to invite friends, family, even your neighbors. Share the joy and let the world know: hope has arrived!

JESUS’ EXAMPLE

Register

In Matthew 3, Jesus began His earthly ministry by submitting to baptism. At The Crossing, we see baptism as an act of obedience by following His example. Acts 2:38 calls us to, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.”  

We do not baptize infants or small children. Rather, we follow the example of Jesus’ parents (Luke 2:21-22) through child dedication, which is offered twice a year.

Just Do It!

Baptisms are offered most Sundays after our 11:45 am service at the Windmill campus and following the 11am serivce at the campus locations.

Monthly Baptisms

Baptisms are offered monthly during services at each campus. These include a video recording of your story that will play before your baptism.

Baptism Bash

Larger baptism celebrations are held four times a year: summer, fall, Easter, and Christmas Eve services.
