A Baptism service is for the children of parents who have a confident Christian faith. During the service, parents answer doctrinal questions about following Jesus Christ and committing to raising their child in the faith. Children can be baptized because their committed Christian parents can speak on their behalf.
If you want to thank God for your child or dedicate them in a church service, a Thanksgiving or Dedication service may be suitable. These services acknowledge God’s goodness without requiring parents to make any commitments about their Christian faith. We are happy to discuss this option with you further.
If you are new to our church, we invite you to join us and meet with our minister to discuss whether a Thanksgiving or Baptism service is best suited for your family.
