Baptism - poll

The two-baptismal pool approach seemed to work this past Sunday, in fact, several times I felt like Pastor Scott and the worship team was realizing they had more time left in the service than they expected. Regardless of those technicalities, it was a great service.

Even the casual observer recognizes that in spite of all the attempts, most people aren't able to get fully immersed in the 30" inches of water the hot tub and inflatable pool hold. That makes me curious, do you see baptism and the significance of a full immersion as a high enough priority, that you'd encourage the church to consider a more permanent baptismal setup...

-in our current facility, recognizing that it could come at a substantial expense to retrofit existing structures?

-in any future facility, should God lead us in that direction at some point in the future?

This isn't any formal vote or study, I'm just curious for my own knowledge. I welcome your response via comments to this post.
