Baptism

Those desiring Baptism for themselves or a family member shall fill out an Application for Baptism, available from the church office. The Rector or a Baptism liason schedules a time for a private meeting with the person or family to go over the service, church protocol, and answer questions. In the case of adult (or confirmation age) Baptism, the Baptism is usually preceded by a Catechumenal process, such as the Wednesday evening Growing in Grace program. There are four regularly scheduled dates set aside for Baptisms during the church year: Epiphany, Easter Eve, Pentecost, and All Saints Sunday. These are 'moveable feasts', as the actual dates change from year to year. Baptisms outside of these dates may be granted on a case-by-case basis by the rector, in accordance with the liturgical calendar and other considerations. Every effort is made to accomodate individual needs when selecting a date for Baptism.
