We consider it a privilege to walk with you as you take this next step on your spiritual journey. OUR PROCESS The baptism process at Great Oaks has been designed to be both simple and meaningful. From the registration form to the baptism meeting, each step has been carefully planned with you in mind. Simply complete the baptism registration form and we will contact you with information about the next baptism service. THE VIDEO One of the most powerful aspects of baptism at Great Oaks is the video testimony shown right before your baptism. Some people are nervous about taping their stories, but we work hard to make the process both simple and fulfilling. The video allows you to share how Christ has been working in your life. Prerecording allows you to do as many takes as necessary, while sharing the message you have thoughtfully and prayerfully prepared ahead of time. Many people ask, "Do I have to do the video?" The answer is yes, if you want to be baptized at Great Oaks. Baptism is meant to be a public profession, and it is an incredible opportunity to share God's message of redemption with thousands of people. We have witnessed the life changing effect these videos have had on people's lives. Another important reason we do a video is that we as a congregation grow in our faith by watching these stories. It allows friends, family, and even those you don't know to celebrate the amazing transformation God has worked in your life. We want baptism to be a meaningful and enjoyable experience, and we look forward to walking through it with you!
