Baptism is a sacrament in the Global Methodist Church that publicly signifies we have trusted in Jesus as our Savior, received God’s forgiving grace, and are now a part of God’s eternal family (the Church).  As we apply water to the person being baptized we are signifying that person has been cleansed (or washed) of their sin through Jesus, they are a new person through Jesus Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit to live within them and help them as they grow in their faith.
In our tradition, we baptize infants, children, youth, and/or adults recognizing that God’s grace is extended to all persons and can be received such that they are now included into the family of God. and will continue to grow and mature in their faith and walk with Jesus.   We affirm baptized via sprinkling, pouring, or immersion (going fully under water).  Those baptized as infants and young children are expected to go through a process called “Confirmation” where they learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus and publicly confess their faith in Jesus Christ as their own.  Baptism at whatever age, should always be accompanied by faith in Jesus.
If you are interested in baptism, please contact us so you can schedule a meeting with the pastor.
