Initiate, Cleanse, Strengthen, and Welcome.
Our Baptism class is for children who have already received Christ as their Savior and wish to be baptized. We also invite parents of children who have not yet made this decision but are curious and want to learn more about baptism.
As detailed in scripture, we believe baptism is an outward symbol of receiving Christ as one’s personal Savior. It is not salvation and one does not require it to receive salvation. Children who opt for baptism at PR must attend the Baptism class before the actual ceremony. The class discusses, in an age-appropriate manner, Salvation, Baptism, and the importance of a Christian walk as a child. Since this is a significant step in a child’s life, we require at least one parent (preferably both) to attend the class with the candidate.
