Baptism
What is it?
Baptism is the sign of new life in Christ. Baptism unites Christ with his people. That union is both individual and corporate. Christians are, it is true, baptized one by one, but to be a Christian is to be part of a new creation which rises from the dark waters of Christ’s death into the dawn of his risen life. Christians are not just baptized individuals; they are a new humanity. Baptism is available for all ages.
What do I have to do to prepare for baptism?
There will be time set aside to talk about what it means to be baptized. You will meet with Rev. Rob Henderson before the date of the baptism so that you can ask questions and learn more about the commitment you will be making for yourself or on behalf of your child.
When do baptisms take place?
Baptisms are always celebrated when the community gathers for worship. That usually takes place on Sunday mornings. Since a person is being baptized into the community it is important that we are all together.
To receive information about baptism, please contact our office at 226-456-8776 or email [email protected].
Better yet, please come to worship on Sunday morning at 8:30am or 10:30am. This is a great way to see what it is to belong to a Christian community.
