We believe water baptism is for everyone who believes in Jesus! We practice full immersion baptism, like Jesus modeled for us. Baptism doesn’t save a person; it’s a decision and celebration of salvation (1 Peter 3:21).

Have more questions about being water baptized? Watch this message from Pastor Nate all about water baptism.

When you arrive, head to our designated Riverdale Kids area. When you get there, one of our team members will guide you through check in at one of our kiosks. They will ask a few questions about your family in order to help us serve you well. They’ll ask things like what allergies your child may have, birthdate, how many children are in your family, and how to contact you. Both you and your child will then get a sticker with a matching code unique to only your family.
