Baptism

Baptism is the sign and seal of God's grace and covenant in Christ. Baptism enacts and seals what the Word proclaims: God's redeeming grace offered to all people. Baptism is God's gift of grace and also God's summons to respond to that grace. Baptism calls to repentance, to faithfulness, and to discipleship. Baptism gives the church its identity and commissions the church for ministry to the world - Book of Order, Presbyterian Church (USA).

Adult Baptism:  If you have never been baptized and are making a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ, you may be baptized and incorporated into the church as an active member. Baptism is administered as part of Sunday worship. If you are interested in being baptized, you should contact the pastor to receive information and to arrange a meeting. The Session (governing board) approves all baptisms.

Child Baptism:    In the case of parents presenting children for baptism, one of the parents must be an
active member of  CSPC and must promise to raise the child in the Christian faith. Parents need to contact the pastor for information and to schedule a meeting.
