Get Baptized

Baptism

The Visible Sign
of Faith

Baptism is a public demonstration that takes what is invisible – our faith – and makes it visible. As such, it is the New Testament initiation into Christ’s visible Church on earth.

We consider baptism a vital step of obedience in the life of every disciple of Christ and will only receive into membership those who have been baptized as believers. At Fellowship Church, we practice water baptism, by immersion, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in accordance with Scripture for those who have believing allegiance to Jesus Christ. It is an outward sign of repentance of sin, allegiance to Jesus, union with him in his death and resurrection, and new life in the Spirit.

To Be Baptized

  1. Fill out a Baptism Interest Form.    
  2. Interview with a church leader.    
  3. Get baptized and share your testimony with the church.    
  4. Pursue membership by attending a Discover Fellowship Class. These classes are offered every other month, and details may be found on our events page. At this class, you will have an opportunity to meet pastors and staff and learn more about Fellowship Church. Membership applications will be distributed after the Discover Fellowship class.

Parents of children seeking baptism: We recommend reading this page and supporting documents together with your child in an age-appropriate way for them, at your discretion. As with all baptized believers, we encourage baptized children to pursue membership in their local church for discipleship and accountability in the LORD. Children who are admitted into membership at Fellowship Church enjoy all privileges of a congregational member, such as the care of the elders, spiritual discipleship, and church discipline. They are exempt from certain responsibilities (such as giving), and church voting is limited to those who are at least 18 years old. You may ask your interviewing church leader if you have further questions.
