Congratulations on your new blessing! The Baptism of a baby is a beautiful tradition in the Christian Church. However, there is more to it than just tradition. It is a time to welcome your child into the Christian faith and promise in front of a congregation, your intent to raise your child in the faith. Therefore it is our hope and prayer that we may partner with parents to help you do this as together we work with God’s Spirit to fan into flame the fire of faith in your child.

In order to do so, it is essential first that parents are regularly worshiping and active in their faith. During the actual baptism itself, parents will be asked to make a commitment:

  • Will you faithfully bring your child to worship, teach him/her the Lord’s Prayer, the creeds, the Ten Commandments, place in his/her hands the Holy Scriptures and provide for his/her instruction in the Christian faith?

The active and intentional practice of faith is at the heart of baptism and we ask this of all families seeking to baptize their child at Grace. We also ask that you attend one of our Baptism Instruction Classes for parents. These informative classes are typically held on a Sunday morning after the 10:30 worship service.  During the class, you will have the opportunity to request a baptism date for your child.

If you are regularly worshiping at Grace and would like to schedule a baptism, please call Kris in the church office (763) 421-6520 or email her at .

Oftentimes, we have the privilege of baptizing older children. Usually, a pastor or staff member works individually with the child to prepare them for baptism. We recommend that parents attend the baptism workshop. We baptize adults too.

Dates: We will schedule a Baptism class when we have 2-3 families desiring a baptism.

Baptisms can be scheduled during the 8:45 am or 10:30 am Sunday worship services during the program year and at 8:30 am or 10:00 am during the summer.  If you are interested in attending the class click here. Register by contacting the church office: Kris Miller 763-421-6520
