Thinking About Being Baptized? Here’s What Baptism Looks Like at ACC Downtown

At ACC Downtown, baptism is a powerful public declaration of faith and new life in Jesus Christ. We practice believer's baptism, which means baptism is for those who have personally committed to following Jesus. Here’s what you need to know about baptism in our community:

What is Baptism?

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It symbolizes the cleansing of sin, our identification with Christ's death and resurrection, and a commitment to follow Jesus. Baptism doesn’t save us—only faith in Jesus does that. But it’s a beautiful step of obedience and a way to declare your faith publicly.

Why Believer’s Baptism?

At ACC Downtown, we follow the example of Jesus and the early church in practicing baptism after a person has decided to follow Christ. We believe that baptism is a choice for those who can affirm their personal faith and commitment to Jesus.

What to Expect at Your Baptism

• Preparation: If you’re interested in being baptized, we’ll connect you with one of our pastors who will meet with you to discuss what baptism means, hear your testimony, and answer any questions.

• Celebration Service: Baptisms are celebrated during our Sunday services, where the whole church family joins in witnessing and rejoicing in your decision.

• Your Story: You’ll have a chance to share a bit about your journey to faith—how Jesus has changed your life—before being baptized.

• The Act of Baptism: You’ll be immersed in water, symbolizing being buried with Christ in His death and raised to walk in new life.
