Baptism
We welcome all to the Font at Calvary
All are welcome – both young and old, both members and non-members. At Calvary, baptisms happen many ways but most often, they happen during worship. On this page you will find out a bit more about Baptism and what it means in the church. Reach out to any of our pastors if you would like to talk further about Baptism.
What is Baptism?
The word comes from a Greek word (“baptisma”) that means “dipping in water” or “washing.” Baptism unites us with Christ and makes us children of God.
Baptism:
- Bestows God’s grace on us
- Names us a child of God
- Adopts us into a new family
- Calls us into newness of life
- Provides assurance that a saving relationship with God has begun through the work of the Holy Spirit
- Gives us the promise of eternal life in God’s kingdom
Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20a).
