river baptism

I know it's freezing outside and it's way soon to be thinking about this, but does anyone know of any churches around here that still do river baptisms? Actually, any locations within the United States would be appreciated.

My stepmother's nephew is a minister in Eastern TN and he does river baptisms. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone in your area that does it.

My daughter actually was baptized in the Patuxent River, but that was a couple of summers ago. And since then, our church has obtained a baptismal.

Where does one find an unpolluted river for these baptisms?

Yes, Emmanuel Baptist Church still do River baptisms. Our next one probably won't be until Easter. However I know our pastor does like to do river baptisms.

Emmanuel Baptist church in Huntingtown Md
We have church service at the Huntingtown high school. Emmanuel Church, Huntingtown MD - Home



Hope this helps
