Frequently Asked Questions

​

What is Baptism?

When a person is baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus, you are beginning a changed life with Jesus, and you are part of a new family.

​

How does Ascent do baptisms?

We encourage immersion, which means getting in a warm tub, and being submerged in the water for a moment.  If there is a reason why immersion does not work, let us know! 

​

Who should I invite to my baptism?

You are welcome to invite your friends and family! This is a time of celebrating your commitment to Jesus and you want your loved ones to be there with you during this meaningful moment.

​

Can my infant be baptized?

We will baptize an infant, with the intention of the parent(s) that they are dedicating their child's life to God and want to publicly make it known to their church community. 

​

Can I have my child dedicated instead of baptized?

We create times throughout the year when parents can commit to dedicating their child's life to God and want to make it publicly known.
