Did you know that we stream baptisms in Worship Falls every second Sunday of the month? That means your child has likely seen someone—maybe even a close friend—take that public step of faith. They may have brought it up afterward, asked questions, or even wondered whether they are ready for baptism.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. Many parents find themselves in this exact moment—excited, honored, and maybe even a little unsure about how to navigate the conversation. At Graceway, we want to come alongside you with clarity, confidence, and a clear next step.

Since baptisms happen every second Sunday, your child will be joining the Graceway family in a beautiful, worship-filled service. We’ll walk with you through every detail.

To begin the process, reach out to Pastor Donivan, Kelly Cornley, or your child’s ministry leader.
