Congratulations on being a candidate for Baptism at Union Baptist Church. This document contains general information and instructions regarding your baptism. Please read it in its entirety --

 

1. Date and Time
   • We will notify you of your baptism date and time by letter once it is scheduled.

2. Baptismal Attire and Preparation
   • You may either dress at home or dress once you arrive at church. Please wear or bring a white sweatsuit and white socks (if you cannot find white, gray will do) and wear dark underwear under your sweatsuit. Ladies should also bring a white swim cap, shower cap, or other white covering to keep hair from getting wet. If you dress for baptism at home, please do not forget to bring a change of clothing, including undergarments, so that you can change into dry clothing following baptism.

• • We will ask you to remove watches, earrings, and other jewelry before entering the baptismal pool and leave these items with a relative or friend, and not wear make-up.

• • You will be asked to come to the Deacons Office, 1B, approximately one (1) hour prior to the time of your scheduled baptism. When you arrive a deacon or deaconess will assist you and give you additional information and instructions.

3. Who May Attend

• • You may invite family members and friends to witness this great event in your life and to celebrate it with you. But, please inform your guest(s) of the COVID-19 protocols below --
    • Temperatures are taken as you enter the Worship Center.
    • If your temperature is above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, you will now be permitted to enter the building
    • While wearing a mask in the church building is optional, if you or your guest(s) would prefer to wear a mask but do not have one, a mask will be provided.

 

Again, congratulations on making this most important decision to walk with the Lord. We look forward to walking with you on this journey.
