The Hills Nashville

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.

We will provide you with a baptism t-shirt and ask that you bring a towel + extra clothes. We encourage you to invite family + friends to celebrate this joyous occasion with you!

Please complete the following form and we will contact you with information regarding the next baptism.

Hills Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others & only then will we be able to fully live the abundant life Christ promised. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why gatherings exist – to make life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you!
