One
You follow Jesus
You are a follower of Jesus Christ.
"Those who accepted his message were baptized." Acts 2:41
Baptism · Third Sunday of Every Month
Go public with your faith.
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others you have personally trusted Jesus for your salvation. If you're ready, we would love to celebrate this day with you.
About baptism
Buried with Him, raised with Him
Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are 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 water baptism is a public declaration of three important things.
Two
You have a changed life
You are beginning a changed life in Christ.
"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Romans 6:4
Three
You have a new family
You are part of a new family.
"So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." Galatians 3:26-27

Common questions
Everything people usually want to know before they take this step.
Why be baptized? +
Because Jesus told us to, and because He did it Himself.
"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.'" Matthew 28:18-20
What is the significance of baptism? +
Water baptism is a public declaration of three very important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.
I have already been baptized. Should I be baptized again? +
Your baptism should have signified you becoming a follower of Jesus, beginning a changed life, and uniting with a new family. If your baptism did not reflect this change of life, then you should be baptized again.
Can my child be baptized? +
We will baptize anyone over age 6 who understands what baptism symbolizes and wants to make that personal public declaration. We encourage parents to partner with our Sun City Kids and Students ministries to guide your children through these decisions of faith. For more help, we've uploaded videos into the "Teach Your Kids" section of Right Now Media, free for you to use with your family.
Can my infant be baptized? +
Throughout the New Testament, the Bible teaches that baptism is a public expression of worship symbolizing the new life we have when we follow Jesus. In the Bible we see that Jesus' parents dedicated Him to the Lord (Luke 2:22-40), and He was later baptized as an adult (Matthew 3:16-17).
Some churches practice a "baptism of confirmation" for children, intended as a commitment between the parents and God on behalf of the child. At Sun City Church we provide opportunities for both child dedication and believer's baptism. To dedicate your child, see our child dedications page.
