 Infant Baptism
Frequently asked questions:
We want to have our baby baptized at GLC, what do we do first?
Congratulations! Baptism of a baby is a beautiful tradition in the Christian Church. But there is more to it than just tradition. It is a time to welcome your child into the Christian faith, and promise in front of a congregation of your intent to raise your child in the faith.
To start this Tradition:
Begin to worship regularly at Grace
Attend a Baptism Workshop
Schedule a Baptism date
What are our roles as parents and caring adults ?
During the baptism, parents and sponsors (God parents) will be asked to make the following promise: Will you faithfully bring your child to worship, teach him/her the Lords Prayer, the creeds, the Ten Commandments, place in his/her hands the Holy Scriptures and provide for his/her instruction in the Christian faith?
Do you baptize older children?
Yes, we often have the privilege to baptize older children. Usually a pastor or staff member works individually with the child to prepare them for baptism. We recommend that parents attend the baptism workshop. We Baptize adults too. Please see the Adult Baptism page
