Our Belief on Baptism

We believe in the great sacrament of Baptism as a symbolic act of God’s grace drawing us into God’s Kingdom family. We believe this grace is also extended to infants as well.  

As a Methodist body, we believe that Baptism is only needed once. Although, we make mistakes daily falling short of God’s commands. We are reminded of our humanity during Holy Communion, which reminds us of Jesus’ work of forgiveness while on the cross.

We have three ways in which we perform Baptisms.     


Sprinkling- water is applied by hand to the forehead


Pouring- water is poured over the head


Immersion- the whole body is totally immersed in water
