Baptism and Communion
Holy Baptism
At our church, we celebrate baptism as a joyful gift from God, welcoming everyone from newborns to adults into the loving embrace of Christ's family. Baptism isn't something you have to earn – it's a beautiful way to begin a lifelong journey of faith.
For parents of little ones, we offer a special "baptismal journey" program. This program allows parents and sponsors to connect with our pastor to explore the meaning of baptism and set the foundation for their child's faith development.
As your child grows, we have exciting opportunities for them to explore their faith further. In middle school, we offer a fun and engaging three-year confirmation program for 7th through 9th graders. This program helps them deepen their understanding of baptism and how it shapes their lives.
Older youth and adults may affirm their baptisms when they become members of the church or on another occasion.
Holy Communion
Everyone is welcome to share in the sacred experience of Holy Communion. The sacrament is a powerful way to connect with the forgiving and empowering presence of Jesus Christ. We believe that anyone baptized, regardless of background, can receive this gift of grace.
Holy Communion is offered at all of our regular worship services. So, whenever you feel called to experience the love and strength of Christ, simply join us for one of our services!
Holy Communion and Children
Children and adults are always welcome to participate, and for those who aren't quite ready yet, we offer a special blessing instead of the bread and wine/juice.
If your child has already begun receiving Communion at another church, they're welcome to continue here! "All baptized persons" includes children of any age.
As your child grows and expresses an interest in taking part in this special meal, our pastor is here to guide them. We offer a yearly class to help children prepare for their First Communion, making it a joyous and memorable occasion.
