WHAT IS BAPTISM?

Baptism symbolizes the love by which God reaches out to us, bringing us into the community of followers of Jesus Christ.

Members of St. Pauls and their children can be baptized.

Not a member yet? We have membership classes throughout the year to attend before your or your child’s baptism. See our upcoming classes here.

WHO CAN BE BAPTIZED?

The sacrament is offered, in worship, for anyone who desires to follow Jesus and become part of Christ’s family. We are an Open and Affirming church, baptizing children and adults, and all are welcome here.

What’s in a name?

One of the special traditions at St. Pauls is for the pastors to carry a child down the center aisle of the sanctuary and introduce them to their new family of faith, paying particular attention to the origin and meaning of their names.
