Baptisms
Holy Baptism is the sacrament that initiates an individual—adult, child, or infant—into the Christian faith, a member of the Body of Christ. To understand our theology of baptism, please consult “Holy Baptism: The Foundation of Christian Life.“ The baptism service, including the vows, may be found on page 299 of The Book of Common Prayer.
Infant Baptism
We hope you will share with us news of a birth in your family so that we can celebrate with you and yours! Please share your happy news via this Prayer Request Form below, and we will look forward to connecting with you.
We are delighted to walk with you as you prepare for your child’s Holy Baptism. In the tradition of the Episcopal Church, baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into the Christian faith and life. We celebrate this sacrament with parents, godparents, family, and community on these Sundays:
- First Sunday of Epiphany/Feast of the Baptism of our Lord
- Day of Pentecost
- First Sunday in July
- First Sunday in August
- Sunday of Labor Day Weekend
- All Saints’ Sunday
It is the privilege of the Church to commend her members to God’s care and keeping at the time of death.
All that we have, and all that we are, is a gift from our creating, redeeming, sustaining God.
To have an infant or child baptized at Trinity Church, the parents must be one of the following:
- Current Members of Trinity Church, or
- Have a standing familial connection with the parish (one or both parents or grandparents are still active members), or
- In the process of joining Trinity Church
In addition to the above, parents and godparents must attend the Baptism preparation class.
Adult Baptism
We joyfully welcome all people of any age to be baptized. Adults and older children are invited to celebrate this sacrament during the Easter Vigil (Easter Eve) service.
Through baptism, we are lovingly adopted by God into God’s family. Our parish clergy will help prepare you or your older child for this sacrament, which marks a formal entrance to the congregation and wider Church.
