Thinking about getting baptised?
Let's chat.

Not at all. Most people who reach out are still in the thinking-about-it stage. Come with questions. The conversation is just a conversation.

Most Christian baptisms involve full immersion in water — a beach, a river, a harbour, a pool. It's a relaxed yet meaningful experience, not always a formal church service. Many people describe it as a special or even powerful moment. Baptisms happen all the time, throughout the year, in all kinds of places.

baptise.org.au works with Christians from established local churches — Baptist, Anglican and other mainstream churches. The person you connect with is a local Christian — someone we know, from one of the churches we partner with.

This isn't a pitch for their church or anyone else's. They've been baptised, they can tell you what it was like, and they're happy to answer your questions. What you do from there is your call.

Baptise.org.au is an initiative of SeeSalt Ltd, a Christian Not-for-profit registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. We are a non-denominational organisation, which basically just means we're not specifically Anglican, Baptist, Catholic or any other church denomination. We partner with all mainstream Christian churches that want to help people who are exploring Jesus. We don't accept donations and we don't have an agenda beyond helping people meet Jesus and grow in their faith. Super simple :)

Fair question! We know that connecting with someone new can feel daunting. We partner with established, local Christian churches around Australia. Every single person who partners with us is vetted and trained to ensure you're connecting with a safe, trusted, and friendly Christian in your area.

You don't have to call yourself anything — labels can feel strange when you're in the middle of working something out. Connect with someone, say exactly what's on your mind and where you're at, and have the conversation from there. You don't need a tidy answer to your own faith identity before you reach out. Nobody does.

No — and that's not a polite answer, it's the honest one. Most people who connect through here have been carrying this question for a while. There's no expiry date and no embarrassment in taking the time you needed. If anything, the conversations tend to be better when someone has been sitting with the question for a long time.

Fair question. Full immersion in water is the most common form of Christian baptism — and yes, it can look a little odd from the outside. But it has also been happening continuously all over the world for about two thousand years. Even Jesus did it. Something that endures that long tends to mean something.

The best way to understand it is not to read about it but to talk to someone who has actually done it. That's why we're here.

Many people in Australia were. Think of your christening as a foundational step your parents took for you when you couldn't choose for yourself. Baptism as an adult is different. It's your own personal choice, your own declaration. You're going into the water as yourself.

Jesus was dedicated as an infant too. He was also baptised as an adult, at 30, in the Jordan River, because that was His moment to go public with who He was. One is done for you. The other is done by you.

That's a beautiful place to be. We've put together a short walkthrough — what it actually means to make peace with God, and a prayer you can pray along with. No pressure, no commitment beyond what you choose.
