Baptism Night

Join us on Wednesday, January 21st, 2026 for our next Baptism Night as we celebrate those who are going public with their faith in Jesus by taking the step of Baptism!

Our Baptism Service will take place from 7:00-8:30pm here on the Upper East Side at Church of the Advent Hope. We'll have a time of worship, a short word of encouragement from one of our pastors, and we'll cap off the night with the baptisms.

It's going to be a night to remember and we'd love to have you join us!

Check out the information below and fill out a form if you're interested in getting baptized or learning more about baptism at Meta Church.

BAPTISM FAQs

Q: What is baptism?

Baptism is a public declaration of one's personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (see Rom. 6:3-4 and Gal. 3:27).

Q: Is baptism important?

Yes! Jesus, Himself, was baptized (see Matt. 3:13-17) and He instructed His disciples to baptize other believers upon their profession of faith (see Matt. 28:19-20).

Q: Is baptism required for salvation? Or does baptism forgive my sins?

No and no. Baptism is not required for salvation, nor does it forgive a person's sins. The Scriptures clearly teach that only faith in Jesus Christ as Lord provides salvation and forgiveness of sins (see John 3:16; Rom. 5:8; and 2 Cor. 5:21). Baptism is simply a symbol and public proclamation of one's belief in Jesus Christ.

Q: Who should be baptized?

We believe the Scriptures teach that anyone who has already placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord should be baptized (see Acts 2:41, 8:36-38, and 19:5).

Q: How do you baptize people?

We baptize by immersion. This means a person is submerged under the water and then raised out of the water. We practice baptism in this way for two reasons: First, this is how Jesus was baptized in Matthew 3. Secondly, we believe baptism by immersion best depicts Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
