What happens during baptisms:
- At Valley Creek, baptisms happen while we are worshipping.
- Once you are in the baptism tank, your baptizer will ask you, “Is Jesus Lord, and will you follow Him?”
- You will get to respond with, “Yes, Jesus is Lord, and I will follow Him!”
- Then, your baptizer will place one hand on your back and the other on the hand you’ll use to plug your nose.
- Before fully submerging you into the water, your baptizer will declare, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
- Then, everyone will celebrate with you throughout the worship experience!
- After that, you’ll exit the worship center to change your clothes and return for the remainder of the service.
THIS IS A BIG DAY - SO INVITE EVERYONE TO COME BE A PART OF IT!
