Believers baptism is a church ordinance but it does not necessarily need to take place in church building but rather in a church setting. The church is not a building but rather a body of baptized believers who are following the the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. The church house houses the church (the people of God).
The baptism can take place in any body of water (river, creek, pond, pool, etc) as long as it's deep enough to immerse the candidate. Baptize in Greek language means to submerge not to sprinkle. New Testament baptisms speak of candidates coming up out of the water, which mean that they went down into the water. If they were sprinkling they would not even need to get into the water.
Baptism does not save, only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins. Baptism is necessary for obedience. Many scriptures teach this point.
Churches have baptisteries installed in Churches because it is more practical than taking the congregation to some outside river, creek, pond etc.
I hope that this helps in answering your question.
