We joyfully embrace Christ’s vision for the Church Universal, welcoming persons of every age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity and socioeconomic background who seek to be baptized. 

In our tradition, we practice both adult and infant baptism. We believe that baptism is a Christian, not a denominational sacrament; therefore, this sacrament is administered only once in a person’s life. However, on the second Sunday of January, we observe the liturgical day of the Baptism of Christ and all baptized Christians are invited to renew their baptismal vows. 

Baptism is not only a personal celebration in the lives of individuals, but also a central celebration in the life of the local congregation. For this reason, the sacrament of baptism takes place, unless exceptional circumstances demand otherwise, in the presence of the whole community of faith gathered for public worship. The entire congregation rejoices with the newly baptized and commits to encourage them to walk faithfully with Christ.
