About this event

Baptism is the outward expression of the inward decision to put your faith in Jesus. The Bible clearly teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience after making a commitment to Christ.

All instances of baptism follow an individual’s decision to trust Jesus alone for their salvation. At The Branch, we wait to baptize children until they are old enough to believe and understand the true meaning of baptism. When a child makes a decision for Christ, we gladly baptize them as a symbol of their faith in Christ. If your child is under the age of 12, you will be contacted by a Branch Staff member to discuss your child's registration.
