You may be wondering if it is "time" to have your infant or young toddler baptized. This is certainly a personal family choice. In the United Methodist Church, we celebrate the baptism of babies. You may also choose to wait to let your child be baptized at the time they are confirmed. We believe that it is "Through baptism, we are initiated into Chirst's holy church, incorporated into God's mighty acts of salvation, and given new birth through water and the Spirit." (United Methodis Hymnal, p. 33)
Sacrament, comes from the Latin sacramentum, meaning sacred. We beleive that God's grace is recognized and celebrated. (Romans 6:3-6; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatitans 3:27)
Baptism is offered by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion. (Matthew 28:19) Sprinkling is the primary method used with infants.
