Life Milestones

BAPTISM is new birth as God's children into God's family the church.  It begins in God's unconditional grace and love, so we baptize people of all ages.  Baptisms are celebrated within the context of Sunday morning worship, though not during Lent, and at the Vigil of Easter.  To schedule a baptism, contact Pastor Brian.

When CHILDREN are baptized, parents and sponsors (Godparents) promise to nurture them in the Christian faith.  Parents and Godparents are expected to meet with the pastor for about an hour before the baptism at a mutually scheduled time.

ADULTS preparing for baptism are generally expected to meet with the pastor for ten sessions, sharing questions and conversation about the basics of the faith:  the Bible, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Christian life and service.  Adults desiring to be baptized should contact Pastor Brian.

CONFIRMATION is really Affirmation of Baptism for adolescents who were baptized as children.  Two years of preparation provide an opportunity to explore the basics of the Christian faith in a thorough, open, and age-appropriate way with peers.  Contact Pastor Brian to learn more.
