Wondering how to start your baby’s spiritual journey? Parents can help their children take the first step in getting to know Jesus through the sacrament of baptism.
The bible speaks of Jesus’ love of children in Mark 10:16, "And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them." This is the first step to your child discovering Jesus matters.
In infant baptism, God claims the child with divine grace. Clearly the child can do nothing to save himself or herself, but is totally dependent on God's grace, as we all are. Baptizing is an outward profession of faith on the parent’s part, to acknowledge they will raise the child in a home that honors and professes Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Steps to Baptism:

- Attend a pre-baptism meeting with one of the Pastors on staff
- Receive confirmation on the date selected for the Baptism
- Arrive 15-minutes early to the service on the date the Baptism will take place to receive any last-minute instructions
