Baptisms & Memberships
Baptism & Membership in the United Church of Canada means Baptism can happen at any age. Whether you want to do it when your baby is young, or you've found Jesus in the later years of life, there's no limit on when one can get baptized. Baptism itself is the sole rite of initiation into membership in the Church, and to declare your love and dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Service of Baptism is held within the regular Sunday worship service where the congregation offers its support and nurture to the candidate for Baptism and their family, as appropriate.
In the service, water is poured into the Baptismal Font, prayers for God’s grace are offered, and the candidate for Baptism is presented to the congregation. In the case of infants and children, those sponsoring the baptism (usually the parent/s) respond to questions about faith and the nurture of the child in the Christian tradition. Older persons respond directly to those questions.
