Beach Baptisms
Sunday, August 16, 2026, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Sand Key Park
We're heading to the beach to celebrate and declare that we have decided to follow Jesus! Now is the perfect time to accept God's grace and become a new person in Christ, or to recommit yourself to God and remember your baptism! Whether you plan to be baptized or remember your baptism, or you just want to support and celebrate others being baptized, we invite you to join us for this joyful day! We'll sing some songs of worship together, be baptized in the Gulf, and spend some time together as a St. Paul family. Feel free to bring your beach gear and hang out after the baptisms.
IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN BAPTIZED
We invite you to take the next step in your faith walk and become a new person in Christ. Let us know on the Connect Card or by email that you would like to be baptized.
GETTING TO SAND KEY BEACH
Sand Key Beach is located at 1060 Gulf Boulevard. Parking is $5 so we encourage carpooling. Park by the southern bathrooms, closest to the entrance. Look for the St. Paul flag and join us on the beach!
WHAT TO WEAR
If you're being baptized or remembering your baptism, dress to go in the water. You may want to bring a change of clothes, and don't forget your towel. If you were baptized at one of our previous Beach Baptism event, feel free to wear your Raised to Life shirt!
STUDENTS
Students should meet at the church at 5 PM. The bus will leave for Sand Key Park at 5:30 PM. Students will stay and have a beach night after the baptisms.
