Frequently asked questions

Do you baptize infants?

We believe in believers baptism – that is, that baptism is the outward sign of an inward decision.  Baptism follows a person’s decision to place his or her faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

Obviously an infant is not yet capable of making this type of decision.

At the request of parents we will dedicate children to the Lord during one of our Sunday morning services.  This is a special time for the parents to state publicly their intention of raising their child in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

For more on Baptism please see the appropriate section in our doctrinal statement.
