Baptisms
In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus says to his followers, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
St. Peter believes and teaches that baptism is a wonderful gift given by God. The benefit of baptism is forgiveness of sins and the promise of salvation in Jesus Christ. The Scriptures say, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned" (Mark 16:16). St. Peter also recognizes that all people are born sinful (Psalm 51:5, Ephesians 2:3), that Christ commanded all people to be baptized (Matthew 28:19), that Christ especially invited children to come to Him (Luke 18:15-17), and that the apostles invited whole families to be baptized together (Acts 2:38-39). Therefore, we believe, teach and practice infant baptism.

This class is geared to parents seeking to baptize their newborns or young children, as well as older children and adults who would like to be baptized. You'll learn the importance of this sacrament and why Jesus was baptized and calls us into a life of discipleship beginning with baptism.
