Baptism is an outward expression of an inward reality—a public declaration that you have chosen to follow Jesus. It shows a person is washed clean from sin, dying to their old life, and being raised to a new life in Christ (Romans 6:4).

Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized (Matthew 28:19). Baptism is an act of obedience and an opportunity to share your story of faith with our church family and community.

Anyone who has made a personal decision to follow Jesus can be baptized — kids, students, and adults alike. If your child is interested, we’ll talk with them first to make sure they understand what baptism means.

No. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Baptism is a response to what Jesus has already done in your life, not a way to earn His love or acceptance.

At Fort City, we baptize by full immersion in water, just like Jesus modelled. It’s a beautiful picture of dying to sin and being raised to new life.

We baptize kids who are ready and able to clearly express their own faith in Jesus. For infants, we offer a Child Dedication service where parents commit to raising their children to know and follow Jesus.

We celebrate your parents’ decision to dedicate you to God as an infant. If you’ve now made your own decision to follow Jesus, we encourage you to be baptized as an adult believer. Not to reject your past, but to affirm your faith as your own.

Absolutely! Baptism is a celebration, and we’d love for the people in your life to witness it. We also livestream our services so friends and family who can’t attend in person can still be part of the moment.
