Prior to the baptism a pastor will meet with you to share what the Bible says about baptism. If you have a grade-school aged child, we will have a hands-on activity to explain  baptism to them. If you are interested in baptism for your child or yourself, please contact the church office.

 

Cradle Roll is a ministry that welcomes newborn babies into our church family.  When a baby is baptized he/she is enrolled in Cradle Roll.
