Metropolitan United Church

Baptisms normally take place during our regular Sunday 11 a.m. service, witnessed by our full congregation. This is important, because during the ceremony, the congregation makes a promise to the person being baptised to support that person in his or her spiritual growth. The ceremony takes about 5-7 minutes, and includes:

• Welcoming to the front of the church during a worship service
• Pouring and blessing of the water
• Asking of three questions of faith
• Anointing with water.
• Prayer for the newly baptized
• Presentation to the Congregation

The person being baptized will receive a Baptismal Certificate to mark the celebration and it will be recorded in our Baptismal Registry
