Baptism

We believe baptism is an opportunity for kids to take a stand and let everyone know they've decided to follow Jesus. Our baptism services are a special time of celebrating that decision.

There are some things that we want to be careful to communicate prior to your child being baptized. Please work through the steps below with your child as they think through getting baptized.

The most important thing that we could tell you about baptism, so important in fact that we're going to tell you again in the next step, is that both you and your child understand that baptism has no bearing on a person having put their trust in Jesus. Baptism is a way to show or tell others that you've started a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Since baptism is a way of showing something that's already happened we want to be sure that your child has already put their trust in Jesus Christ PRIOR to being baptized and that they understand that being baptized in no way starts a relationship with Jesus for them!

If you're not quite sure where your child is at with putting their trust in Jesus Christ then check out this video with your child. After the video it'd even be good to talk through some "homework" together. You can download the homework here. This homework is not required and if your child already has a clear understand of having put their trust in Jesus Christ, then feel free to skip it.

Plan to attend a baptism information meeting after an upcoming AM service. It's very possible that you completed this step first, and that's okay! This meeting is generally held two weeks before the next scheduled baptism. Check MyLCC.info for current dates.
