Baptism

An Outward Expression of a Renewed Mind Water Baptism is a powerful demonstration of your new life in Christ. When you are immersed in water, it symbolizes burial with Jesus—dying to your old self and sin (Romans 6:3–7). Being raised out of the water represents resurrection into a new, transformed life in Him.
If getting baptized has been on your heart, we want to celebrate this milestone with you. Whether you’re a new believer or you were baptized as an infant and want to reaffirm your personal faith as an adult or been a believer but never baptized , this moment is for you.

Water Baptism is for anyone who has become a believer and follower of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It is a vital part of being a disciple (a disciplined follower), as taught by Jesus in the Great Commission:

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." — Matthew 28:19

A Note on Infant Baptism: If you were baptized as an infant but have since made a personal decision to follow Christ, we encourage you to take this step of faith as an adult. This act is a public declaration that you have personally committed to following Jesus.

We love seeing kids say "Yes" to Jesus! To ensure this moment is meaningful and clearly understood, we have a specific path for our younger believers:

• Ages 7 & Under: We believe children should fully grasp the depth of this decision before being baptized, so we wait until they are a bit older to take this step.
• Ages 8–11: If your child is asking about baptism, that’s great news! We require you and your child to attend our Parent-Child Baptism Workshop. This class ensures they understand the "Why" behind the "What" so they can walk into the water with confidence.

1. The Prerequisite: You must be "Born Again"—having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (John 3:3-8).

2. The Orientation: To ensure you understand the depth of this step, we ask all candidates to attend a brief Pre-Baptism orientation (available in-person or online).

3. The Gear: TWC provides a special baptism t-shirt! Just bring a towel, a change of clothes, and dark shorts or leggings for the water.
4. The Family: This is a celebration! We encourage you to invite your friends and family to witness your transformation.
