Water Baptism at RCC

What are the Requirements for Water Baptism?

The only requirement for baptism is to ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.
This begins a relationship with a living God!

Baptism is the vehicle to tell others of your commitment to Christ.

So here are the next practical steps for your baptism.

1. Register for the Water Baptism Class
You can register for the class online using the link at the bottom of this page or at Community Central in the back of the Worship Center auditorium before or after RCC services. The purpose of this class is to give an understanding of the significance of water baptism, what it means, and why we do it.
2. Fill out the appropriate child or adult water baptism application and bring it to the Baptism Class.
Baptism Applications are available at Community Central, in the back of the Worship Center auditorium, or online at the links at the bottom of this page. The application deadline is the date of the Baptism Class. Be sure to print your information. This application is used to create a baptism certificate for you.
3. Print out baptism invitations to send to your family and friends and invite them to celebrate this special event with you.
Invitations that you can print at home are available online (see link below) or you can request them from the church office.
4. Attend the Water Baptism Class at 9:00 a.m.
The class will be held in Worship Center Room 204. It is located to the right of the main bathrooms in the lobby. This class will give you an understanding of the purpose and significance of water baptism in the life of a believer.
5. We will contact you to schedule a time to film a brief video testimony.
This video will allow you to share why you want to be baptized and what Jesus means to you. You will also have the opportunity to thank anyone that played a significant part in your Christian life.
6. What to bring/wear on Water Baptism day:
You will need to come to the class dressed in shorts and a dark colored t-shirt. Bring a towel, a change of clothes, an extra pair of under clothes, and a hair dryer if needed. You will be able to change clothes after the baptism in the Worship Center bathrooms.
7. You and your family/guests are invited to a reception/celebration  following the worship service in the Hospitality Room.
