Baptism Preparation
Through baptism, we are joined to Christ in his death and resurrection and made members of his body, the Church.
Whether you are considering baptism for yourself, for your child, or for your infant, we would love to walk with you. Baptism at Christ Church is celebrated as part of our Sunday worship, and a time of preparation with the Rector comes first.
Who Is Baptism For?
Adults — A time of preparation decided on by the candidate and the Rector precedes the baptism of adults.
Infants and children — The parents meet with the Rector beforehand for instruction to discuss the liturgy and its meaning and significance.
When Are Baptisms Celebrated?
Christ Church regularly celebrates baptism as part of its Sunday liturgy, normally on those five days especially set aside by the Church as appropriate for baptism:
Transfiguration Sunday (August)
Sunday after All Saints’ Day (November)
Feast of Epiphany (January)
Easter (Spring)
Trinity Sunday (June)
The exact dates vary from year to year — please contact the church office to find the next baptism Sunday.
At each baptism, the congregation joins together in affirming the Baptismal Covenant.
