Baptism

Baptism is a sacrament and a celebration of the whole Christian community that welcomes a person into the Body of Christ, which is the church.  It is a first step in following Christ that is meant to be lived out everyday.

The heart of baptism is a connection to the body of Christ, a faith community that will witness and deepen the faith of the child seeking baptism, as well as the parents. Therefore, it's crucial for a family to be connected to St. Michael faith prior to baptism here. If you are considering baptism here and do not attend St. Michael, we invite you to join us for a while and see if St. Michael is a place that you connect and feel at home. If you, then, believe that we are a place where you could experience faith and grow with Christ, we would be deeply honored to celebrate your child's baptism.

If you are interested in baptism at St. Michael, please contact Pastor David at least one month prior to your desired baptism date.

Pastor David will meet with the parent(s) and, if possible, the sponsors for one class before baptism can take place.

For older children and adults who feel called to baptism, we welcome you to receive this sacrament here at St. Michael.  Please contact Pastor David to discuss.  We would be overjoyed to celebrate your baptism.

THIS FORM must be filled out prior to baptism.
