Baptism is a public declaration of your decision to follow Jesus. It’s a beautiful, symbolic act of obedience that represents the death of your old life and the beginning of your new life in Christ. At Countryside, we celebrate baptisms because they reflect the transformation, hope, and grace found only in Jesus.
Whether you're new to faith or you've followed Jesus for years and never been baptized, this is your moment.

Our baptism experience is simple, powerful, and filled with joy. We offer two types of baptisms throughout the year:

• Sanctuary Baptisms: These take place indoors at the conclusion of weekend services across all campuses.
• Beach Baptisms: Held a few times each year at a nearby beach, these outdoor baptisms offer a unique and memorable way to demonstrate your faith.
• Infants & Children: At Countryside, we do not baptize infants or very young children. Instead, we offer child dedications, a special moment where parents commit to raising their child in a Christ-centered home, and a pastor prays a prayer of blessing over the child. We believe baptism is a personal decision for those who are old enough to understand and choose to follow Jesus for themselves.

No matter where it happens, each baptism is a celebration of life change and a reminder that you’re part of a church family that’s cheering you on. We will guide you every step of the way—from preparation to the big moment—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

We’d be honored to celebrate your baptism with you!
Register for our next baptism, and a Countryside member will follow up with all the details and next steps. If you're unsure whether you’re ready, we’d love to connect, answer your questions, and walk with you through the process, this is your family, and you're not alone.

We believe water baptism is a meaningful step of obedience that publicly declares your faith in Jesus. It’s a powerful symbol of dying to your old life and rising into a new life in Christ.
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It shows three things:

You are a follower of Jesus
You’re choosing to live a new life in Him
You belong to the family of God

Child Dedications: At Countryside, we dedicate children rather than baptize them. We believe baptism is a personal decision made by individuals who understand and have chosen to follow Jesus. If you’re a parent, we encourage you to partner with Countryside Kids or contact the offices to help guide your children through these important steps of faith as they grow.
