Baptism and Communion

Baptism is our initiation into the church and our identification as children of God. God initiates this relationship and chooses us as daughters and sons, beginning our life-long journey of faith. God’s choice happens regardless of our age or our response. Because God chooses us once and for all, this is an act that should not be repeated. Those that are baptized as children must make the choice to confirm their belief in Christ to continue as members of the church.

We offer baptism for children and adults several times during the year.

Communion is an opportunity for us to renew our relationship with Jesus Christ. On His last night before his death, Jesus ate a special meal with His disciples. He charged his church with repeating this meal to remember His sacrifice and celebrate our new life through His death and resurrection. God offers this relationship to everyone, so all who desire to receive are welcome to participate.

The sacrament of Communion is offered at both the Traditional and Harvest services on the first Sunday of each month. In addition it is also offered every Sunday at 12:05 p.m. in the Robb Chapel as well as special times during the season of Lent, Holy Week, and Christmas.
