National Baptism Week is an opportunity and a prompt for churches, youth groups, small groups and ministries to celebrate, talk about and offer baptism.
Just as God came looking for us before we looked for him, we want to be a movement that’s pro-active in offering baptism as the tangible way of responding to the great news. Rather than waiting for people to apply, we want to make baptism into Christ as available as Christ himself is.
So a special week each year is simply a way to keep ourselves from being too quiet about it for too long!
How to join in
You can do it your own way – there’s no need to register or report back. Check out our Ideas Guide for different ways to join in, even if you won’t be having baptisms on that week.
Many churches are running Alpha, Next Steps, Faith Runs Deep or another gospel course in Term 3 and using Baptism Week as a response opportunity.
Especially designed for use in the lead-up to National Baptism Week, Next Steps is a quality resource suitable for churches, small groups and youth groups.
We love hearing and sharing stories and photos (with permission) of people entrusting their lives to Christ in baptism. Share the joy and encourage others!
