Baptism Checklist and Signup

NEXT BAPTISM  - SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 2024

We are excited you have decided to take your next step as a JESUS follower in baptism. At Purpose Church, we practice baptism by full immersion in water – meaning you are going to get soaked! You will want to bring extra, dark colored clothing you do not mind getting wet. Most people wear dark shorts or pants and a dark t-shirt. You may want to bring sandals or flip flops to walk around in before and after. Changing facilities will be available, and there will be a set time for you to change. There’s a quick checklist below. Also, don’t forget to invite your family and friends to celebrate with you and be a part of this special day.

Checklist of things to bring:

___ Dark t-shirt and dark shorts

___ Change of clothes

___ Large towel (for drying off)

___ Flip-flops, sandals or water shoes

___ Pony tail holder (if you have long hair)

___ Toiletries or other personal items (for after the baptism)

___ A small plastic bag or sack for your wet clothes

What to expect:

Be prepared to answer YES when asked if you have fully committed your life to follow JESUS. You may also be asked to share a short testimony of WHY you want to be baptized. It is also possible, and totally optional, that a short video statement will be recorded. This is your opportunity to share your experience as a JESUS follower in a few brief sentences!

You will be instructed on how to hold your arms so they can be lowered into the water. This part is easy! Just relax and enjoy the experience.

Celebration! This will be an important moment in your new life as a JESUS follower and we are excited to be able to celebrate with you!

Who can you invite to help celebrate this important step as a disciple of JESUS? It’s as easy as, “Come and see!”
