What is infant baptism?
In infant baptism, God claims the child with divine grace. Clearly the child can do nothing to save himself or herself, but is totally dependent on Gods grace, as we all are whatever our age. Infant baptisms are generally celebrated for children two years old or younger. Because Baptism claims and enacts a covenant between parent/guardian and congregation, at least one guardian/parent should be a member of the congregation, or should have participated in one of our “Introduction to VRUMC” classes (Connection Cafe). For more information about the next scheduled class, please call the church office.
