One of the most powerful aspects of baptism at Grace is the video testimony shown right before each person's baptism. The video allows each person to share how Christ has been working in her life. Prerecording allows them to do as many takes as necessary, while sharing the message they have thoughtfully and prayerfully prepared ahead of time. Some people ask, "Do I have to do the video?" The answer is yes, if a person wants to get baptized at Grace. Baptism is meant to be a public profession, and it is an incredible opportunity to share God's message of love and grace with hundreds of people.

Another important reason for the videos is that we as a congregation grow in our faith by watching these life-changing stories. It allows friends, family, and even those you don't know to celebrate the amazing transformation God has worked in your life.

Some people are nervous about taping their stories, but we work hard to make the process both simple and fulfilling. We'll meet with you and a few others and go over everything you need to know about the baptism process in general, and the videotaping in particular. At the baptism orientation, we'll either video your testimony then, or schedule another time.

We want baptism to be a meaningful and enjoyable experience, and we look forward to walking through it with you! If you have any questions or need help preparing your testimony, please contact Dave Stewart at 530-343-5528 or daves@gracechico.org
