Holy Baptism

Here at Trinity, we believe that God has promised and really is doing something to us in Holy Baptism. In Holy Baptism God delivers us from the forces of evil, puts our sinful self to death, gives us new birth, adopts us as children and makes us members of the body of Christ, the church. It is an event in which we believe God really, truly is doing something to us. In Holy Baptism, we are united with the events of God's saving action in the Bible, from creation to the resurrection of Jesus.

But Baptism is not simply a matter of a one-time event. The rite of Holy Baptism invites us into a life-time of living faith... of growing together as the people of God... of learning how it is that the promises of Baptism touch our every day existence and invite us into a life of loving service to God through service to others. In fact, we might say that the DAY of Baptism is just the first step in a lifetime of "walking wet."

Baptism Request Form

To get on the church's calendar, please either fill out the on-line form below, or CLICK HERE to download a hard copy of our Baptismal Information Form to be filed with the church office ASAP.

PLEASE NOTE:

Date availability for baptisms are generally pretty open, but need to be verified based on the church's master calendar and pastors' availability.
Most Baptisms occur on a Sunday during a regularly scheduled service. Private Baptisms are highly irregular and typically not accommodated, except in rare circumstances, at the pastor's discretion. Baptism is a celebration of the congregation, as the baptized is being joined to the fellowship of the congregation. AT THE VERY LEAST, representatives of the congregation should be invited to attend.
Instruction for Holy Baptism takes place approximately 45 minutes before the service--please make sure that you, your baptismal sponsors, and anyone else who will be taking part in your child's life of faith and growth can be present for that instruction time. (For a 9am service, please be at the Church no later than 8:15am.)

Baptismal Sponsors

In addition to a "title of honor" for a friend or family member, Baptismal Sponsors are individuals committed to helping the Candidate grow and live as a follower of Jesus. As such, it is highly recommended that at least one of your Baptismal Sponsors be either an active member of TLC or of another Christian congregation.
The number of Baptismal Sponsors is up to you--two is the "usual" default.
