eKidz Baptisms
For children 5th grade & under
Helping your child take their next step with Jesus.
Choosing to follow Jesus is the biggest decision your child can make, and baptism is an exciting next step in their faith.
Baptism is a way to show others we’ve decided to follow Jesus. It’s a picture of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection and a celebration of the new life we have in Him.
As a parent, you have an important role in helping your child understand what it means to follow Jesus and be baptized. We’re here to give you the tools you need and walk alongside your family every step of the way.
Should my child get baptized?
Every child’s faith journey looks different, so there’s no need to rush. What matters most is that your child understands what it means to follow Jesus and is making the decision to be baptized on their own.
Our All About Baptism guide is designed for you and your child to work through together. You’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus, what baptism represents, and questions that can help you know when your child is ready.
What happens next?
You don’t have to figure out the next step on your own. Here’s what the baptism process looks like for your family.
Work through the guide together
Spend intentional time talking through faith, salvation, and baptism as a family.
Meet with an eKidz Director
When your child is ready, meet with an eKidz Director to talk about their faith and whether baptism is their next step.
Celebrate baptism
When your child is ready, celebrate baptism as they show family and friends they’ve decided to follow Jesus.
Baptism is just the beginning
Baptism is an exciting moment, but following Jesus is a lifelong journey. You can help your child continue growing in their relationship with Jesus by building simple rhythms of faith into your family’s everyday life.
Praying regularly
Prayer is simply talking with God. Encourage your child to talk to Him about what they’re thinking and feeling, thank Him for what He’s doing, and ask for His help and guidance.
Reading the Bible
Reading the Bible helps your child learn more about Jesus and how to live like Him. Find a time that works for your family to read Scripture together, talk about what you’re learning, and make God’s Word part of your regular rhythm.
Growing in community
God created us for community, and we aren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Help your child build relationships with other kids and leaders who love Jesus and will encourage them as they continue growing in their faith.
