Q: Can my family be Baptized together?
A: Yes! If each family member understands fully the meaning of baptism, and each one has personally placed his/her trust in Christ for salvation. We encourage children to meet with our pastors about baptism before they are immersed. However, it is important to remember that baptism is a personal statement of faith and obedience, not a family tradition. It is usually not wise to delay your baptism while waiting on other family members to accept Christ.
