The Well Community Church

Baptism

We are thrilled you have chosen to pursue the sacrament of Baptism. Getting baptized is a significant step of obedience for a believer as you publicly declare God’s work in your life. It will serve as a benchmark in your walk with God and will be an event you will remember for the rest of your life.

Each Campus celebrates changed lives by holding Baptism services throughout the year. Baptism submissions are accepted year-round, and you will be contacted once your materials are received to prepare you for the upcoming Baptism service at your Campus.

There is a three-step process for being baptized:

  1. We encourage you to read through “A Statement on Baptism and practice of the sacrament in the life of The Well Community Church,” as well as the details of the Baptism service itself.
  2. Submit your Baptism Information and Confession of Faith by clicking the link for your Campus on this page.
  3. Interview with one of The Well pastoral staff; sessions will be scheduled once your submission has been received.

Service Details

What will the service look like?

Each Campus will hold its own Baptism service. While each service may vary slightly, participants will be baptized by one of The Well's pastoral staff in a pool before friends, family, and The Well congregation. There will be time for community, and you may be interviewed regarding your faith in Christ.

Will I have to say anything?

Usually we have a great number of people desiring to be baptized. For this reason, we limit the number of individuals who share their God story. Through the Confessions of Faith and pastoral interviews, we may ask certain individuals to share components of their faith journey as a testimony to the body of believers. However, all participants will be asked a confirming question of their faith during the actual Baptism. The only response you would have to say is "yes."

What should I wear when I am baptized?

Women should wear shorts (no denim) and a top rather than a swimsuit. Be cautious of white or light-colored t-shirts. Men may wear a swimsuit and a dark-colored t-shirt. Bring a change of clothes, a towel, and a plastic bag for your wet clothes. We will provide changing rooms.
