About Baptism

If you want to be baptized or have your children, please read the information below. 

 

In The United Methodist Church, baptism usually takes place during a worship service.    

 

It is important to know that baptism means that the person who is baptized becomes a member of the Church.  

 

Christening, giving a Christian name to a child, is included as a part of a baptismal service and is not offered separately as some other Christian denominations allow.    

 

Also, the United Methodist Churches do not conduct the baby dedication services.
