Do I need to be a member of Good Shepherd?
Not necessarily. Although baptism is in part a promise to grow in the life of faith. We feel
this is
best accomplished by regularly being part of a worshipping community.
When do baptisms happen?
Baptisms happen during our 9:30 am service on Sunday Mornings. Generally almost any Sunday during the year works for us.
Who does the baptism?
Our pastor does the actual baptism service.
Is there a fee?
There is no fee for baptisms
What happens during the baptism?
Both you and the community make promises before God to commit yourselves and/or
your child to live into the Christian faith and then you get a little wet. Also, we will provide
you
an outline of the service and discuss your parts with you when you contact us.
Do I need Godparents for my child?
No, you are not required to have Godparents, but if you select them we will include them in
the
service.
Who do I contact to arrange a baptism?
