Are you wondering about Baptism? You've come to the right place!
Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Jesus and a mark of identity as a part of God's family, the Church. In our monthly baptism class, you can learn more about baptism and talk to someone about what God is doing in your life! During the class, we'll provide an opportunity to schedule your baptism at Oak Hills Church.
Please read the information below about baptism at Oak Hills Church. When ready, use the button below to register to attend this class. We look forward to helping you take this next step in your faith journey!

Oak Hills Church celebrates baptism on stage during our weekend service, or after a weekend service in either the indoor or outdoor baptistry. Below is an overview to help you prepare for the scheduling options that will be provided to you at the class.
In-Service Baptism Schedule - Who is eligible for In-Service baptism?
- Anyone who wants to be baptized by an OHC minister.
- Anyone who wants to be baptized individually. (Sorry, the baptistry tub space does not allow for couples or multiple family members inside the worship baptistry together. Please ask about our outdoor baptistry instead.)
- Anyone who approves of their name and image to be shown publicly. (Photos and videos may be used for any Oak Hills Church print or digital media).
- Anyone who can safely and comfortably navigate climbing up steps and stepping up into and out of a large tub. (One parent may accompany a small child on stage as needed. Those with accessibility accommodation requests are encouraged to use our outdoor baptistry. Please let us know how we can assist.)
After Service Baptism Schedule - Who is eligible for after service baptism?
- Anyone who wants to be baptized by an OHC minister/volunteer or someone who has discipled you. (Parents, spouses, friends, etc.)
- Anyone who wants to be baptized individually or in a group. (The outdoor baptistry allows for couples or multiple family members together.)
- Anyone who can safely and comfortably navigate pool steps or the in-door baptistry steps.

Oak Hills Church practices "believer’s baptism," meaning that we ask people to articulate for themselves the “gospel why” and share their salvation story with our elders or ministers prior to their baptism. While there is no minimum age a child can be for baptism, we believe it is important they are old enough to declare their belief in their own words. For infants and young toddlers, we encourage you to dedicate and celebrate during our Baby Blessing Family Milestone. Click HERE to learn more.
