From the New Testament, baptism is consistently associated with those who accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ and surrendered their lives to Him (Acts 2:41; 8:12-13). Following this pattern, Beltway Park believes that every person who has professed faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized. 

No problem! Please email markjackson@beltway.org to check other available options. 

At Beltway Park, we wait until our children are old enough to believe in Jesus Christ and understand the true meaning of baptism before we baptize them (i.e. we do not baptize infants or young toddlers). We also wait until children express their own desire to be baptized and pursue it on their own. We encourage parents and families not to put unnecessary pressure on kids to take this step in their faith journey before they are ready. We want kids to take ownership of their faith in Jesus and their decision to be baptized. Though we do not baptize infants or toddlers, we do practice and encourage Child Dedication for kids all ages, and we make this available to parents and families multiple times throughout a given year. 

As soon as possible! (Acts 2:41; 8:35-38). As soon as you are in Christ, you can (and should) be baptized. If you wait until you are perfect, you will never truly be or feel good enough. Register above to attend one of our upcoming baptism classes. 

Yes! If each family member understands the meaning of baptism, and each one has personally placed his/her trust in Christ for salvation, then you can absolutely be baptized together. It is a wonderful expression of how God is working to shape individual hearts and shape the identity  and culture of a family.
