Because an infant is not able to personally accept God’s gift of grace, the parents become part of the baptismal covenant. Parents will be asked to make a covenant to help cultivate their children’s spiritual development and teach them to: live a life true to the gospel, worship God and learn from the Scriptures, and prepare the child to make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Infants are sprinkled with the water during the baptism.
Parents need to attend the class prior to baptism weekend. Registration forms are at the Information Desk or register online here. Forms need to be completed and turned in quickly. Space is limited for baptisms.

BELIEVER BAPTISM
Believer baptisms are for those persons who have made the decision to follow Christ and accepted Him as their Lord and Savior.
Baptism is about publicly drawing a line in the sand, saying, “This is it. Today I want to show the world of my desire to stop living for myself, and instead live for Christ. I want to die to my old way of living and rise to my new life and live for Christ."
Believer Baptisms are done by full immersions. Registration forms are at the Information Desk or register online here. Forms need to be completed and turned in quickly. Space is limited for baptisms.
