Baptism

Belonging to Christ

“Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body the Church” (BCP 298). It is the liturgical action in which we—whether children or adults—are claimed by God as beloved children and members of the Body of Christ.

Our celebrations of baptism occur during Sunday worship on specific feast days throughout the church year:


The Baptism of Our Lord (January 7, 2024)
Easter Sunday (March 31, 2024)
Pentecost Sunday (May 19, 2024)
All Saints (November 3, 2024)

Confirmation

Belonging to the Anglican Church

Already baptized? Confirmation in the Anglican Church is “a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism” (BCP 412). It is for either adolescents or adults to consciously embrace the adoption and grace of Baptism and respond the call of Christ, usually involving a time of preparation and study.
