Baptism Sunday

Join us for a unified service at 10 am for the whole church.  Like every Sunday we will worship and study the Bible but at the end of this Sunday's service Pastor Josh will give an opportunity to all who would like to be baptized to come take this vital step of faith.  It is good to share this joyous time with our families so k-5th grade and students will be delivered back to their parents just before the baptisms begin.  

Fellowship & Food Afterwards

The church is providing hot dogs after the worship service.  If you can, bring a potluck or side dish to share. The indoor play area will be open after the service for the kids to have fun and make a friend.

Where

Our worship service will be in our normal auditorium with a warm baptismal set up near the front. After the service food will be enjoyed in outdoor gathering area right next to the entrance to the Indoor Play Area.

What Is Baptism

Baptism is an outward display of an inward decision for Christ.  It is the first step in showing others the faith God has put in your heart, and an outward sign to your friends, family, and church that you associate with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection.   If you haven't personally taken this step of faith, we encourage you to do so. 

Who Should Be Baptized

The Bible teaches that all who believe should receive both baptism, and communion, with the body of believers as a part of the local church as a declaration of faith.  So if you believe, but haven’t taken this step of faith, we invite you to be baptized at the end of this worship service.

What About Babies?  

In the Bible, there is no record of babies being baptized.  So at GraceBuilt, baptism is for those old enough to have a personal faith in God -- around 5 years old or older.  If you were baptized as a baby -- not because of personal faith, but because of someone else's decision -- we encourage you to be baptized as an expression of your own decision for Christ.

What If I Have Been Baptized Before?

If you were baptized in the past but lacked personal understanding or faith we encourage you to be baptized as an expression of your personal belief in God.

What To Bring

• Wear regular clothes.  Towels will be provided, you are welcome to bring a change of clothing.
• Bring friends and family.
• If you can, bring a dish to share for the potluck.
