Baptism

SJD Life Events

Holy Baptism is the initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body – the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is permanent and represents the outward and visible sign of Christ’s grace at work in our lives now and for ever.  We baptize those who come to God in faith in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

In the Episcopal Church, Baptism is the entry rite into the Christian life. Baptism is the only requirement for joining in the Holy Eucharist and all other ministries of the Church.
