What Is Baptism?
We help people across the Quad Cities take bold steps like baptism—it’s how faith goes public.
Baptism is a public declaration of your faith in Jesus. It’s a powerful symbol of your old life ending and your new life beginning in Christ.
At Grace Family Church in Davenport, we baptize by full immersion—just like Jesus modeled. While baptism doesn't provide salvation, it demonstrates to the world that God's grace has transformed your life.
“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that… we too might walk in newness of life.” – Romans 6:4 (ESV)
Is Baptism Your Next Step?
Baptism is an outward sign of an inward change—and your next step in following Jesus.
We baptize
- Adults and teens who have chosen to follow Christ
- Children (typically age 7+) who understand and can articulate their faith
- Anyone ready to say, “I’ve decided to follow Jesus, and I’m not turning back”
- Whether you’re in Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, or Moline—we’re here to help you take this next step in your walk with Jesus.
If you were baptized as a baby or before making a personal decision, we encourage you to take this step as a public expression of your faith.
Baptism Is a Celebration
