Baptism marks our welcome into the household of faith, and signifies our belonging.
Baptism is appropriate for any age, though baptism of infants and young children is most common.
One must be baptized before joining the church as an adult. The United Church of Christ honors baptisms from any other Christian tradition and therefore we do not rebaptize. Communion is received in individual cups in the pews, served by Deacons. This is an open sacrament, meaning that anyone who seeks new life in Christ is welcomed.
