If you are already a member of Oakville, contact Reverend Carpenter who will schedule a baptism conference with you. At that time, Pastor John will discuss the meaning of infant baptism with you to ensure that you understand the intention of the vows you will take. If you are not a member, the first step to having your child baptized is for you to join Oakville by attending an Membership Orientation. At least one parent must be a baptized Christian and a member of Oakville. In infant baptism, the parent(s) take the vows on behalf of the child and promise to raise her or him in the Christian faith. Similarly, the congregation vows to support the child’s growth in faith.
