Baptisms
We celebrate adult and infant baptisms for members of our congregation as well as members of other churches and for others seeking a church connection.
Infant baptism is a celebration of the gift of life that God gives us all and a recognition of the important calling of Christian parenting. Here is a link which explains some of the meanings of baptism from the Congregational-United Church of Christ faith tradition, http://www.ucc.org/worship_baptism
Teaching a child about spiritual principles and having them involved in a church is critical in raising a healthy child and eventually a well-adjusted adult. Studies by major universities, like Columbia University, have shown the importance of a spiritual foundation for children. The studies have found that raising a spiritual child leads to such positive outcomes as less rates of depression and drug abuse among children. Here is a link to a brief book review on a best selling book on this topic,

Baptisms are held during the 9:30 am worship service. Baptisms are scheduled throughout the year. You are invited to visit us on Sundays to see if we feel like a good faith community for you.
To schedule a baptism contact the church office.
Marriages
We conduct weddings for members of our congregation as well as any other couple who wish to join in holy matrimony. We do not discriminate because of religion, color, sexual orientation, or for any other reason. To find out more about having a wedding at the church read our wedding guidelines.
