Baptism F.A.Q. & Sign-Up – Restored Glory Christian Center

1. What do I wear?

We ask that you wear gray sweat pants and a loose fitting white (or off-white) t-shirt. We will provide a top covering for your clothes. Also, you will need to bring a change of clothes.

2. What happens if I didn’t answer yes to all of the fields on the baptism form?

If you didn’t respond to all four prerequisite questions, a member of our leadership team or pastoral staff will contact you and address any questions you may have regarding water baptism.

3. Can I invite my family or friends?

Absolutely!!! As a matter of fact, we encourage you to do so.

4. What other things do I need to consider?

Women may desire to wear a swim cap to protect their hair. Also, participants who wear contact lenses may want to take them out prior to service; however, doing so is not necessary.

I/Candidate for Baptism have/has accepted Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.

With Salvation: We accept Jesus’ death, burial & resurrection to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour.
With Baptism: We are identified with what He did.
We go through the process of what He did to symbolically say the following:
- As you stand in the water:
  - We Stand as “dead” to the old life and world
- As you go under the water:
  - We Immerse (Go Under) to signify the burial of the dead person
- As we come out of the water:
  - We Rise Up (Come out the water) to walk in the newness of life!
