Baptism at Discovery
Baptism is not to be an empty religious experience, but done out of a living, loving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. Jesus is the very life of God Himself (John 14:6) and this is just another way for us to tap into His life-changing power for our lives.
The baptism process at Discovery has been designed to be both simple and meaningful. From the Baptism Class (101 Baptism) to the baptism services, each step has been carefully planned with you in mind. Baptisms are conducted by Discovery Church Pastors.
101 Baptism Class
In order to prepare for your baptism, we provide 101 Baptism Class the Sunday prior to the baptism date. Everyone being baptized should participate in the class.
Kids Baptism class (Morphed) is held the week prior to baptism and is required for children under 12.
