At the beginning of a baptism service the pastor will pray and then briefly explain the meaning of baptism. The pastor will introduce you and the other participants and share a brief description of your testimony.
When it is your turn to be baptized, you will get into the water with the person who will baptize you. The person baptizing you will say, “I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” The person baptizing you will briefly lower you backwards under the water and then raise you back up. You can then leave the pool, dry off and watch others being baptized.
Note: For baptism, women should wear shorts and men may wear a swimsuit or shorts. We will provide you with a dark blue Baptism t-shirt to wear while you are being baptized. Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes, a towel and bag for your wet clothes.
