Kid's Baptism @ New Life Fellowship

(For a more updated Kids Discipleship & Baptism Process visit our Kids Discipleship Page.)

Kid’s Baptism Process
(K-5th Grade)

Step 1: Parents and Kids attend We Believe- January 29
We Believe is a unique presentation for parents and kids where we share God’s plan for salvation (via John 3:16). We share the Gospel with parents and their children and then send them home with homework and tools to continue the conversation at home and invite your child to a personal relationship with Jesus. Before a child is baptized, he or she is required to attend ‘We Believe’. (A New Life Kids Leader will be following up with you in the days following We Believe to answer any questions you may have.)

Step 2: Kids Baptism Class- February 19 (Must attend 'We Believe’ FIRST)
A class for kids and parents where they learn about what is baptism, why do we do it and get details on the process. After this class kids will have the opportunity to share their story (testimony) of how they came to know Christ as savior via video.


Step 3: Meet with Us (By appointment)
We want to take this opportunity to answer any questions that you or your child might have about his or her decision to follow Christ as their personal Savior. We will also answer any questions that your child may have concerning baptism. This is a great opportunity for us to talk with you and your child before we move to the final steps of preparing for baptism.


Step 4: Kids tape a video for our Family Baptism Celebration! (Kids Baptism service)- TBD
Part of the Baptism process is to share your story of how you came to know Jesus as your personal savior. We will play your child’s testimony in the Family Baptism Celebration (Kids Baptism Service) just before they are baptized.

ONE more thing… We’re going to need you to submit a digital picture of your child. We will be using this picture during the Family Baptism Celebration. A fun, candid, horizontal shot is best!


Step 5: Get Baptized (Family Baptism Celebration!)-March 17 (Must attend 'We Believe’ AND Kids Baptism Class FIRST)
Woo Hoo! Your child is getting baptized. Family Baptism Celebration is an incredible event. Our hope is that it is something that your child NEVER forgets! So plan to invite your friends and family to join the party!
