Baptism for Infants

If you desire to have your infant child baptized, please call the Orchard office or email tiffany@theorchard.net to schedule an appointment with one of our pastors to discuss your child's baptism. After your meeting with the pastor, he will then instruct you to schedule your baptism date.

Baptism for Older Children

If your child has shown an interest in or asked you about their desire to follow Christ and be baptized, please call the Orchard office to schedule an appointment with our children's minister or email justin@theorchard.net

Upon meeting with the minister, he will instruct you to schedule a video session (where your child will be interviewed for his/her baptism testimony video) and schedule a date for their baptism.

Becauase we have volunteers who shoot baptism videos, we ask that you schedule these on Sundays in-between services or after the 10:30 service.  Please indicate your preferred shoot time on the model release form that you return to the office and The Orchard Video Director will contact you to confirm.

Schedule Baptism Date
After the video has been shot, please call or email anne@theorchard.net to schedule a Baptism day and time.
-Allow at least 2 weeks from shoot date for our volunteers to edit.
