Baptism FAQs

The New Testament shows a consistent pattern: After a person believes, that person is baptized. This practice is called believer’s baptism because a person must first believe in Jesus before they are bap- tized. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. A person comes to faith by repenting of sin and turning to Christ as Savior and Lord. It’s a vol- untary decision, yet God is mysteriously involved. Baptism is the first step of obedience a new believer will take once that person has surrendered to Jesus. It is a picture of what takes place at the time of sal- vation—being cleansed and having one’s sins washed away. It says, “I have died to my old life (going under the water), and I am alive to new life in Christ (coming out of the water).” It signifies that a believ- er has put to death his or her old life and has been raised to walk in new life. In other words, baptism is a public testimony to the world and to the church signifying the believer’s new commitment to follow Jesus.

At Springdale Church, we practice baptism after conversion (Acts 2:41) by immersing the believer under the water (Acts 8:38) in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) because we believe that it is the best picture of spiritual death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:4–5) and because it is the pattern we see in the New Testament (Acts 18:8). When a person is ready to be baptized, we ask three questions:
     1. Do you know that you’re a sinner but in His great love for you God has forgiven you?
     2. Do you believe Jesus was God Himself (God the Son), lived a perfect life, died on the cross for your sin, and rose from the grave on the third day?
     3. Do you confess that Jesus is your Savior and Lord and commit to live your life for Him?

After this, the pastor (or the person baptizing you) will say something like “Based on your profession of faith, I am excited to baptize you as my brother/sister in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Immerse at this point) Buried with Christ in baptism and raised to walk in new life!” Then, every- one will celebrate with you the step of obedience you just took. It’s very exciting and meaningful!

Prior to your baptism celebration day, we will give you a free t-shirt. On the day of your baptism, wear your normal clothes to church, but bring a t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and a towel. We have private chang- ing rooms backstage for you to use.

Some denominations baptize or “christen” infants to represent the parents’ commitment to dedicate their child to Christ. While this is a very important part of the religious practice and tradition of many families, it is not the same as believer’s baptism. Believer’s baptism occurs after someone makes a per- sonal decision to follow Christ for him- or herself. Many of our members were baptized as infants, but they all took a step of obedience to be baptized once they made their own personal commitment to repent of sin and believe in Jesus. Sometimes that happens as a child or later in life. Believer’s baptism is a public declaration only the new believer can make. We believe this honors Jesus and follows the normative pattern in the New Testament.

Participate in a LifeGroup

Our LifeGroups, or “small groups,” meet at 8:45 a.m. Sunday mornings. We first gather for a quick prayer in the Café before groups begin. LifeGroups exist to support our vision to be a disciple-making church where every member is challenged, encouraged, and equipped to live all of life as worship, in community, and on mission. While every LifeGroup takes on the personalities of its members, one thing remains the same: Each group will study the Bible, pray for one another, encourage you in your walk with Christ, build community, and equip you to be on mission.

Contact Pastor Daniel to find the right group for you. Contact Pastor Daniel here.
