Is baptism the next step in your faith walk? When you are baptized you are making the statement that Jesus is your Lord and you are choosing him as your savior. Wellspring’s next baptism service will be held on Sunday June 2nd.  If you would like to sign up to be baptized, please contact the church office as soon as possible at 860-225-0661 or office@wellspring.net. You may also sign up at the Welcome Center on Sunday. We want to connect with you, hear your story, and get you ready. There will be a Baptism prep class you’ll need to attend on Sunday May 19 from 8:45 am – 9:45 am before church in Conference Room 1.

What Is Baptism?

Baptism is an outward demonstration of an inward commitment. It is a public declaration.  Baptism is our identification with Jesus and our desire to follow Him. As Jesus modeled in Matt 3:13, we do this by submerging those being baptized in a pool of water and then lifting them back up again. Being submerged symbolizes how our old self has been buried with Jesus, and being raised from the water symbolizes our new life in Christ. Baptism celebrates the hope and joy of our new life in Christ!

Baptism is a celebration – for the individual and for the community.

Baptism is a declaration of new life and the shedding of our old life.

Baptism is a symbolic act, but it has real spiritual significance.

At Wellspring, we baptize believers — that is, individuals that have consciously made the choice to believe in Jesus’ resurrection and have made the choice to follow him.
