Sacrament of Baptism

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.  And remeber, I am with you always to the end of the age. Matthew 28: 19

Baptism is the sign and seal of incorporation into Christ. It enacts and seals what the Word proclaims: God's redeeming grace offered to all people. God's faithfulness signified in Baptism is constant and sure. Baptism is received only once. Its effect is not tied to the moment when it is administered, but rather to the beginning of a life in Christ. (Book of Order, W-2.3)

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) believes that persons of other denominations are part of one body of Christian believers; therefore, we recognize and accept baptisms by other Christian churches.

If you are interested in a baptism at the church, either for an adult or infant, please contact Cara Burchett in the church office. For an infant baptism, ordinarily, one or more of the parents should be an active participant in the life of the church. Baptisms take place on the last Sunday of each month and are administered as part of the worship services at 9:00 a.m. or 10:15 a.m.
