Christ Church Family Ministry
We want every child to feel known, loved, and safe and that they would experience the joy that comes from knowing Jesus. As we pour into this next generation, our prayer is that they will grow up to use their gifts and talents to point others to Jesus.

Baptism
the sacrament of baptism is open to persons of all age, including infants. Parents and family members speak on the child’s behalf and at the same time confirm their faith in Christ. Parents attend Baptism Training prior to their child’s baptism where they meet with ministers to review the meaning and importance of this time.
