A church baptistry formed of reinforced polyester material has a main tub area with a bottom wall and contiguous adjoining side walls and end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and at least one integrally formed stairway extending outwardly and upwardly from one or more of the side or end walls. Each stairway has opposed side walls and an inclined bottom wall adjoined at a lower end to the tub area which extends angularly upward and outward therefrom with a flight of steps formed in the inclined bottom wall. At least one lower step is integrally formed in the tub area bottom wall and adjacent side or end wall and extends a distance upwardly from the bottom wall and inwardly a distance into the main tub area beyond the adjacent side or end wall to form a continuation of the flight of steps and may serve as a child's platform. The steps have a tread width greater than the corresponding riser height. In the preferred embodiment, the steps have a tread width of approximately 11'' and a riser height of approximately 7''. The step arrangement decreases the interior volume which conserves water and reduces the cost for heating it without appreciably increasing the overall dimensions of the baptistry. Optionally the walls of the tub area may have a viewing window, and/or an integral raised platform formed in the bottom wall of the tub area. The tub area may be a generally rectangular, generally T-shaped, generally circular, or generally V-shaped configuration.
