Going Public at Highpoint

We believe that baptism is a public sign of identification with the message and mission of Jesus Christ. It is an outward sign of the life change that has already begun in the life of a believer after they have entered into new life with Christ. At Highpoint Church we prefer to baptize through immersion following the model of Christ's baptism and that of the first century church.  Baptism as an act of identification with the message does not aid salvation, wash away sins, or serve as entrance into a church body, but rather is the proclamation of a believer's identification with Christ and a first step in the process of discipleship.

1. Let us know

There are three easy ways to let us know-

1. Fill out our online form

2. Contact a Highpoint Staff Member via email

3. Check the box on your Response Card found on your Listening Guide in our services

2. Talk it Out

One of our staff members will call to follow up on your decision. During this phone call, the staff member will answer your questions and schedule a time to shoot your video.  From this phone call we can also arrange a meeting to discuss salvation further if needed.

3. Shoot the Video

Why do we do the video?—Baptism is about publicly identifying with the message and mission of Jesus Christ.  Shooting your video is important in two ways, it allows others to hear and relate to what God has done in your life and it serves as a spiritual marker in your life that you can look back on to remember what He has done.

The Highpoint Staff Member that contacts you will schedule your video shoot time at the the Highpoint Studio.  Don't worry, they will also provide for you a list of questions to think over prior to your shoot to help you in telling your story. The Studio is located at Briarcrest Christian School, 6000 Briarcrest Ave. Memphis, TN. 38120, room 108. Our video guys are great and will meet you in the lobby at your scheduled time and will walk you through the whole process.

4. Be Baptized

At the video shoot, you will schedule the date and service you will be baptized in. We will also provide you information on what to wear and time to arrive that morning. We encourage you to invite others that would be encouraged to hear your story on that Sunday to celebrate God’s victory in and through your life.  We also  would like you to pick who you want to baptize you. We recommend you pick the person who was most influential in your decision for Christ.  

Along with baptism, we encourage you to make friends in a Sunday School and register for Starting Point to begin your journey.
