Baptisms & Weddings - Grace at Fort Clarke Church of Gainesville Fl

Christian baptism is an outward and visible sign of a person’s commitment to receive God’s offer of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism is referred to as a sacrament, meaning a “sign act of God’s grace” which signifies one’s inclusion in God’s family.

Jesus commanded His followers to “go and make disciples off all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Baptism doesn’t make you a member of God’s family; only faith in Jesus can accomplish that. Baptism shows you are a part of God’s family.

We here at Grace offer Christian baptism in three different manners:
sprinkling, pouring, and full immersion. Each of these methods illustrate a rich and vivid imagery of God’s abundant grace.

If you have received Christ by faith and you desire to follow Him in obedience, we would be honored to celebrate your new life in Christ through baptism. Also if you, as believing parents, desire to have your infant or child baptized we would be honored to offer this sacrament to your child as you celebrate God’s grace at work in their life.

To schedule an appointment with one of our pastors for a baptism, please contact Barbara Mulder at bmulder@gracefl.orgor at 352-332-8770 x41.
