Baptism

Baptism is the symbolic demonstration of a change that is taking place in your life. While baptism doesn’t transform you or save you, it represents your old life without Christ passing away as you are lowered into the water and your new life with Christ as you emerge. It also demonstrates obedience to Jesus, who you now call Lord.  Jesus was baptized at the beginning of His ministry and instructed us to do the same. 

We begin a life, in obedience, with Christ and His purposes through baptism.

If you have never shared in this experience of oneness and closeness then we as a church have missed out being able to celebrate what God is and has been doing in your life.  More importantly, you have missed being able to publicly stand for Jesus..

Be Baptized

Baptism by immersion is required for church membership unless chronic illness or a disability makes this impossible. The baptism doesn’t have to be at Calvary but must be after acceptance of Christ (not infant baptism) and by a theologically similar church.

To be baptized candidates must take a baptism class, meet with a pastor, or have taken the membership class.  Children age 8 through 6th grade meet with Pastor Judy. 

Our next baptism is June 10th .  The Baptism Class, required for adults and students beyond the 6th grade, is May 20th . If you attended a class previously, but were not baptized and would like to be baptized, please contact the office  (239-1345). Parents of children ages 8 – 6th grade should contact Judy Basye in the office.
