Baptism is the first step of obedience in the life of a Christian (Matt. 28:18 – 20). It is also a way for Christians to be publicly identified with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:3 – 4). Baptism does not bring salvation (Eph. 2:8 – 9), but symbolizes our new life, much like a wedding ring symbolizes ones marital status.
Simply respond to the invitation at the end of one of our services and let one of our pastors know that you are interested in being baptized. We will talk with you and encourage you to attend one of our monthly New Members/Baptism classes. Upon completion of the class, we will schedule your baptism if you believe you are ready.

Getting baptized is the next step in our faith. We love to see kids come to know Jesus as their Savior and then choose to get baptized! We recommend that kids are at least entering third grade for baptism.
We are excited that you are interested in having your child dedicated to the Lord. The purpose of child dedication is for parents to present their child before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities to raise their children up in a manner that is glorifying to God. Parents also come praying that their child will one day trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. Our desire at Shadow Mountain Community Church is to partner with you in this effort and to help make this a meaningful life experience. As a church, we want to partner with you in prayer, fellowship and resources as you begin this journey as a family. This formal declaration is an opportunity to let friends and family know that you will be faithful in not only attendance, but also involvement with your child's spiritual growth.
