  Baptism, the sacrament which celebrates our inclusion in the Christian family, is administered to children of professing Christians and/or adults. Baptisms can be scheduled during worship at the convenience of families. Our pastors will consult with families prior to baptisms regarding its meaning, significance, and practical arrangements.

Communion is the sacrament which celebrates the presence of Christ among us. All who put their trust in Jesus Christ as Lord of Life, including children (with parental consent), are invited to participate. Communion is observed during worship throughout the year and on Maundy Thursday. Communion can be taken to shut-ins and hospital patients upon request.

Marriage is a rite of the Church which recognizes family life as a gift of God. Weddings can be scheduled through the church office after consulting with the pastor. Counseling with othe pastor is required prior to the announcing of a date.

Funerals of members and friends of the Church demonstrate the love of God in time of need. A service of thanksgiving for the life lived and of prayer for those who remain is basic to the Christian response to death.
