Many adults who never had a relationship with a faith community seek baptism when they join a congregation for the first time. As our society becomes more secular, those who enter our churches are neophytes in more ways than in previous generations. - Accessible resource for clergy to give to new parents, new members, as they seek baptism; bulk purchase option- Preparation tool for families in planning a baptism - Forms and checklists for families/individuals to fill out in preparation for baptism |
