Baptism Information Form PDF

The Moravian Church practices infant baptism. It is always wonderful to celebrate God’s love for our children and the gift of God’s Spirit that comes in a special way at baptism. Children are baptized when at least one parent is a member of our congregation and are brought into the fellowship of the Church at the time of their parents’ choosing. During the baptism ceremony, parents (and possibly sponsors) promise to bring their child up in the church. At the same time, the entire congregation promises to be an integral part of the child’s spiritual formation throughout her/his life. At a later point in life, the child may choose to confirm her/his faith in public worship, after completing confirmation classes (typically grades 7 & 8).

If you are interested in having your child baptized at one of our three worship services, please contact the church office to arrange a meeting with one of the pastors.

The Moravian Church acknowledges one baptism. This means that adults who join our church and have already been baptized in another Christian tradition do not need to be baptized again. Instead, they may join the congregation through “Reaffirmation of Faith.” If an adult has never been baptized, then he/she may join the church through adult baptism.
