UMC BAPTISMAL BELIEFS

Baptism is a ritual of initiation into the community of faith. This service is done publicly in front of the local congregation who are now accepting the responsibility for the nurture and care of the newly baptized. Both the church and home must work together to provide spiritual growth opportunities. Decatur First offers many ways for children to learn about their faith and grow in Christ’s love!

Baptism marks the beginning point in a life of faith. In baptism, we begin the intentional process of training and nurturing children so they may eventually be prepared to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and decide to make their own public profession of faith. (John 3:3-8, Philippians 2:12, 2 Peter 3:18).
