You are also making a commitment to participate in the life of the church. Please feel welcome to join us at St. John's as together we seek to grow in Christ. Baptism is a sacrament, which means it is an outward sign of God's free gift of life through Jesus Christ. The scriptures always talk about baptism in the context of a professed faith in Christ. Baptism along with faith are the means by which a person is united with Christ and made a member of the Christian community, the church.
Baptism is truly appropriate for the children of Christian believers.
All parents who have responded to Christ's call in their own lives, and who are regular participants in the church should bring their children for baptism. We would encourage you to join St. John's by simply contacting one of the clergy after a Sunday morning service. Remember that in baptism you are committing yourself and your child to be a follower of Jesus. We encourage you to make that commitment with integrity, and we will do all that we can to support you in that decision. The sponsor should not simply be an honourary guardian.
