Tell us why you are making this decision:
An important part of the baptism experience is sharing why you are taking this step. But don’t worry; you won’t need to say anything! We will read your brief statement for you as you are baptized.
Please write a couple of sentences explaining why you wanted to be baptized.
Some ideas of what to say: How did you come to make a commitment to Christ? What prompts you to be baptized now? Has God done something specific recently in your life that you want to celebrate?
A few guidelines:

• Specific events are better than general statements (the more detail the better).
• Speak in terms of “I”, not you (don’t try to teach, just share your story).
• It’s best not to mention another church by denomination since we don’t want to be perceived as critical – if your story involves another church just mention “my previous church…” or “the church my family attended”.
• It is also good not to mention an individuals' names unless you explain who they are, since people probably won’t know them.
