Baptism

Baptism is a sacrament is all about experiencing the justifying grace of God, letting that love define us and claim us (washing away sin), and a God-thing that initiates us into a new kind of life.

In the United Methodist Church, we baptize infants, youth and adults. The amount of water isn’t a big deal: baptism can be by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.

Baptism is a communal event and almost always (except in cases of illness) is done within worship with the congregation present.
