Baptism
Holy Baptism is a Covenant between an individual and God. It is God’s word to us, proclaiming our adoption by grace and our word to God, promising our response of faith and love.
We welcome your inquiry about the sacrament of baptism and we look forward to assisting you in this memorable occasion.
Persons of all ages may be baptized at Germantown United Methodist Church. Non-members are encouraged to seek membership as soon as possible after being baptized. We baptize by sprinkling Holy Water and make the sign of the cross on the forehead with anointing oil to invite the presence of the Holy Spirit. The United Methodist Church recognizes baptisms from other faiths and churches and therefore does not “re-baptize”.
