Baptism is the beginning …
Baptism is the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. It makes no
difference whether you are baptized as an adult or as a child … we
all start on that journey at baptism. In the United Methodist church,
baptism signifies repentance and forgiveness of sin, new birth, and
the entry into Christian discipleship.
Baptism for children
For the child, the journey of faith begins at baptism and continues in
the nurturing community of Faith Community United Methodist Church.
As the child grows older, he or she will learn what it means that,
“God loves you.”
Between 9th-12th grades, the child will attend a yearlong confirmation
program and make his or her first confession of faith. At Faith
Community, we wait until high school before beginning confirmation
classes, because at that age children can begin to take responsibility
for their own decisions.
Baptism for adults
If you experienced God’s grace later in life, you can be baptized as an
adult. Adult baptism still marks the beginning of a journey in the
nurturing fellowship of the caring, learning, worshipping, serving
congregation.
