Baptisms

About Baptisms

Baptism is the outward sign of welcoming into the church family. The pastor asks the parents/guardians some questions and will ask the congregation a question. After, the pastor will pour some water on the child's head. At Palma Ceia. We then sing "Jesus Love's Me" as the pastor walks the child down the center aisle.

Why are we baptized?

In Jesus Christ, God calls people to faith and to membership in the Church, the body of Christ. Baptism is the visible sign of that call and claim on a human life and of entrance into the membership of the church. The baptism of children witnesses to the truth that God’s love claims people before they are able to respond in faith. The baptism of those who enter the covenant of membership upon their own profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior witnesses to the truth that God’s gift of grace calls forth a response of faithfulness. Thus, the triune God, incarnate in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, gives to the Church not only its mission but also its understanding of membership.
