Go Public
Three weeks on why baptism is a public act rather than a private decision. It answers the hesitation most people won't say out loud.

Baptism Sermon Series Ideas and Graphics
Baptism Sunday is a production day and a design day at once. Sign-ups, towels, shirts, a photo plan, signage for a wet hallway, and a series that gives people a reason to sign up in the first place.
These ideas are short by design, because a baptism push works best as two or three weeks that're pointed at one date.
The work in the gallery is ours. We’ve designed 21 approved pieces that match this topic for churches around the country, and you’re seeing the most recent of them.
The ideas
6 Baptism series to steal
02
New
A short series on what changes and what doesn't after a person follows Jesus. Good ahead of a baptism weekend at a church that's taken on a lot of new attenders.
03
Buried and Raised
Two or three weeks working through the imagery itself. Direct enough for a church that wants the theology stated plainly.
04
Your Story
A series built on testimony, with a baptism candidate telling their story each week. Nothing recruits for a baptism Sunday better than the person who's standing in front of you.
05
The Next Step
Framed as one step in a path rather than as a finish line. Pairs well with a growth track that starts the following week.
06
All In
A short arc on commitment for the long-time attender who never got baptized. That group's bigger in most churches than anyone assumes.
Real work
Baptism graphics we designed
Approved pieces from real churches. Title slides, promo sets, print and apparel, at each piece's true proportions because we don't crop work to fit a grid.
Graphics like these come with every plan. See how your Squad’s graphics team works or check what a plan costs.
Planning
What To Build and When
Open sign-ups three weeks out and keep taking them at the door. Half the people who'll get baptized decide that morning, so the day-of card matters as much as the online form.
Plan the photo. A baptism set with real photos from your own church converts far better next year than anything you'd design from scratch.
Every other topic we’ve built is on the sermon series ideas hub.

Questions Churches Ask
How far ahead should a baptism Sunday be promoted?
Three weeks of promo with sign-ups open the whole time, plus a same-day option at the door.
What graphics does baptism Sunday need?
A sign-up graphic, a card for the seat backs, wayfinding for the changing area, and a shirt or towel if you give one.
Should baptism have its own branding?
A simple recurring look works better than a new design each time, because it's recognizable to people who've been thinking about it for a year.
Want the artwork handled?
Tell us the series and the date. Your Squad builds the slides, the social set and the print, and you'll spend that week on the message instead of on the artwork.
