    RETURN TO WEBSITE 

     

    We encourage you to invite your family, friends, and co-workers to the baptism because this is truly a very special occasion.  It will allow you the opportunity to share with others your love and identification with Christ.

    A Membership Care Ordinances Team Member will contact each candidate by phone and/or by email prior to your child’s water baptism. If there are any questions or concerns that may arise prior to this, please contact us at contact@goodsuccesschurch.org  (Children Only).

    Baptisms take place when scheduled and nnouncements will be made no later than 2 weeks before the baptism.  Applications are due within 10 days of the baptism so certificates can be provided on the day of baptism.

    Prerequisites: (Adult)

    You must have accepted Christ into your life as Lord and Savior.
    You must attend the Baptism Instructional Class.

    Prerequisites: (Children)

    Each child must be at least 10 years of age.
    Must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the baptism.
    The child must demonstrate an understanding of salvation and received Christ into their life as Lord and Savior. 
    Each child must attend the Baptism Instructional Class and demonstrate understanding.

    Arrival time and check-in is at least 30 minutes before the start of the baptism service in the children’s department. Attending the water baptism class via the Children’s Ministry is mandatory prior to the day of the baptism.  This will ensure baptism candidates understand the significance of water baptism and salvation according to the Word of God.  Scripture References: Luke 3:16, Matt. 3:11, Matt. 3:16, Matt. 20:22-23
