Baptism

Why Baptism?

Jesus himself told us to baptize when he said, “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

Baptism is a sacrament that the Holy Spirit uses to give and strengthen faith. His name is put on those who are baptized as his adopted children. Through Baptism, they are connected to Jesus’ death and resurrection.

And so we baptize both children and adults because that is what we are called to do. We all have a deep need for baptism because we are all sinners in need of forgiveness. And so God gives us this promise, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.”

Baptism at St. Peter

If you or someone you know is interested in Baptism, please fill out the registration form below.

We have several special Baptism Sundays throughout the year, but a Baptism can also be done at any regular service. Additionally, Pastor Dunn is available to have a private Baptism service at other times as well.

We offer Baptism at no cost because it is a free gift that God gives us and tells us to share with others.

Before each Baptism Pastor Dunn will meet with the individual or parents several times before the Baptism to talk about what Baptism is, why we need it, and what comes after Baptism.
