3 reasons why pastors love our baptismal font

Yes, it's really true! And actually, it's not hard to believe – congregations love our baptismal font. Below are my three main reasons why the baptismal font makes many pastors' hearts beat faster.

Of course, this list of seemingly endless advantages isn't exhaustive :) But that's not the point. The points below are simply particularly important to me, as some of you probably haven't thought of them yet.

#1: It's not a paddling pool

Keyword "Florida blue." Everyone is familiar with the typical color in the pool industry , which likes to decorate itself with inflated seahorses. When I see this, I primarily think of games, fun, and children's birthdays. But would anyone want to associate these and similar emotions with such an important and unique event? The meaning of Florida blue is clearly evident to me – and it doesn't fit the nature of baptism of faith. This is the main reason why we found what we were looking for in two other special colors for our baptismal font. While the light blue liner also makes the Baptizo look more authentically like blue water, it doesn't evoke any association with a children's toy. For a colorfully strong brand or stage design, there is the light gray liner as a visual alternative, which can be perfectly integrated into your color scheme.

# 2: It has no stairs

Even if it seems to have been chosen at random, the height of the pool of 66 cm is a value based on many years of experience with real advantages for you.

If the pool were higher, you'd need an additional step inside and outside, or even a ladder. While the step inside would literally be "heavy as lead" and could even be life-threatening for the water liner, a portable ladder at this height is anything but safe – it's narrow, wobbly, and high. This also contradicts the underlying concept of our product. We say a clear no to additional parts, weight, and dangers.

# 3: It is not bricked up

Will the gas boiler start today? Who stored all those instruments and crates in the baptismal font? Is 5,000 liters of water a waste? We racked our brains over these and similar questions long enough in the old days (with a tiled font). Hidden in the floor of the corner of the stage, it was also difficult to see.

Would you rather sit elegantly in your seat and let the others raise their heads? Um, it's good those days are over. Then there's the flexibility. Isn't it wonderful to be able to spontaneously move the action to the courtyard or the adjacent meadow? Or to gradually optimize and vary the setting during the service? And what if the space becomes too small? We stick to this: every congregation with New Testament DNA needs a flexible option for water baptism!

In a nutshell: Appropriately ingenious looks meet optimal functionality, coupled with outstanding flexibility. If this also makes your heart race, feel free to contact me or subscribe to our newsletter. I'd be happy to send you more photos of one or the other variant in action upon request!
