This is something to celebrate.
Baptism is a symbol that tells a two-part story: the story of what Jesus has done for us, and the story of someone's decision to follow him.
It's a celebration, not of the progress someone has made, but of the direction they're headed. It's a moment to look forward to with excitement and look back on with admiration.

What about infant baptism?
Baptism is one of those topics that the church has disagreed about for centuries. At Community Church, we believe baptism to be a secondary doctrine, meaning, we make room for disagreement. Jesus prayed that his followers would be one (John 17:21). In light of that, we prioritize unity over uniformity in our beliefs. All that to say, you might disagree with our view on baptism, but for us, that's ok. We still want you to be able to call this church your home.
While we understand and respect the beliefs behind baptizing an infant, here, we believe that baptism is something that follows a decision to follow Jesus. For us, that means that a child has to be old enough to make that choice before we will baptize him or her.
