Baptism is a very important event in the life of any new Christian. And I know that we go to great lengths to make sure the celebration is done just right!

At the beginning of the service, we will briefly explain the meaning of baptism. each participant will receive a free t-shirt and a baptism certificate!

Water Baptism is one of the most meaningful events in a person's spiritual journey. The Bible clearly teaches that baptism is the next step after giving your life to Jesus. Baptism is your chance to stand up and tell the world about your personal commitment to follow Christ.

What is the meaning of Baptism?


  • It illustrates Christ's burial and resurrection.
  • Christ died for our sins...He was buried...and He rose again! (I Corinthians 15:3-4)
  • For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in Baptism you were also raised with Christ! (Colossians 2:12)
  • It illustrates your new life as a Christian.
  • When someone becomes a Christian, he or she becomes a brand new person on the inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!
Baptism doesn't make you a Christian.
  • Only your faith in Christ does that.
  • Baptism is like a wedding ring - it's the outward sign of the commitment you have made in your heart.
Who should be Baptized?

  • All believers as soon as they have accepted Christ
  • A believer is someone who has realized that their sin separated them from God. They have given up all efforts to reach God through good works or religious activity. They have concluded that Jesus Christ's death on the cross for their sins is the only thing that can bridge the gap between them and God.
  • A believer is someone who had decided to trust Christ alone for their salvation. If you have come to that point in your spiritual journey, then you are ready to be baptized!
  • Those who believed...were baptized...that day! (Acts 2:41)
  • There is no reason to delay!
  • As soon as you have decided to receive Christ into your life, you can and should be baptized.

Our next Baptism Experience will take place on Sunday, Oct 28th!
Can I be baptized with my spouse, child, or their family members?

  • Yes! If more than one member of your family is being baptized, we will have you come into the baptism tank together to be baptized.
What should I wear?

  • Plan to wear shorts with a t-shirt into the tank (we will provide you with a free "Watermark" t-shirt you can keep) once everyone has been baptized you will have access to rooms in the main building to change into your dry clothes. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring a dry towel,change of clothes, blow dryer and a hairbrush or comb.
Can I invite people to attend the baptism if they don't belong to Sunset Chapel?
  • Absolutely! We encourage you to invite your friends, family, co-workers, classmates, etc...to be a part of this special day! And don't forget to bring a camera so you can have someone take a photo during your baptism.
I pray that many will take the plunge on Sunday 10.28.12 @ 10:30 AM and acknowledge Christ in their lives. It will be one of the most phenomenal experiences of your life!

Is there someone you could invite to church this weekend who could use this experience? Your invitation could initiate one of the most important days of someones life. We will have baptism kits (shirts, shorts, towels) prepared for those who want to spontaneously participate this weekend. This will be a BIG DAY at Sunset Chapel!
