LIFE STAGES - BAPTISMS
Baptisms at Port Nelson United Church
If you are reading this, chances are you have a child you wish to have baptized, or, perhaps, you are seeking baptism for yourself. At Port Nelson, we believe that baptism is a celebration of the grace of God and the experience and action of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
All individuals, parents and caregivers seeking baptism for themselves or their children are welcomed and supported in their faith journeys. Any who, in good faith, can publicly respond to the promises can be baptized. The church family pledges to form the community of love in which those being baptized will grow.
Baptism occurs during regular worship and is offered about six times a year as appropriate. The service of baptism, including the promises, can be downloaded here.
In lieu of baptism or as a pre-curser to baptism, short services of blessing for individuals and/or families can be arranged during regular worship services or at other times and in other venues.
We would be pleased to talk further with you about baptism or services of blessing. The first step is to contact the Minister, Rev. Michael Brooks. He will arrange to visit with you and your family to discuss baptism and the experiences of your life journey that have brought you to seek baptism.
