At Waterbrook, we allow church members to perform baptisms under the ministry oversight of the pastors and elders. The purpose of allowing church members to baptize a fellow believer is to recognize the spiritual input and mentoring believers have in the lives of one another. We encourage parents to consider participating in the baptism of their believing children.
At Waterbrook Bible Fellowship we try to maintain a balanced approach to this topic. We do not wish to place an inappropriate emphasis on baptism since it’s not a condition for salvation and eternity in heaven. We also don’t want to take it too lightly since it is an act of obedience in the Christian life. We encourage believers of any age to consider believer’s baptism if they’ve not been baptized since their salvation decision. Such a person should willingly, gladly, and obediently desire to be baptized.
This information has been created as a summary on baptism. Anyone seeking more information on this topic should speak with a pastor for specific details regarding Waterbrook’s written policy and practices for baptisms. Contact the church office if you’d like to sign up for a future baptism service or to receive more details on the process.
