Baptism
Baptism
We believe that baptism is God's grace to us and that it washes away our sins. We encourage every believer in Jesus to be baptized if you have never done it before.
Baptism is a ritual rinsing with water commanded by Jesus in which new believers (young and old) receive entrance into the Christian Community. It is not merely a symbol; we believe that God is actively doing something powerful through it. Baptism is a sign of God's favor in which God promises to give us the gift of the Holy Spirit as we embark on our new life of faith.
St. John's is honored to offer baptism services for infants, children, and adults. If you would like to talk with one of our pastors about baptism or if you would like to schedule a baptism date, please call or email the church office or fill out our baptism form below. It is helpful if you have a baptism date in mind but not necessary.

Peter answered them, “All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven.Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. This promise belongs to you and to your children and to everyone who is faraway. It belongs to everyone who worships the Lord our God." - Acts 2:38-39
