Baptism at All Souls'


Baptism creates full members of Christ's Church. Through this major initiation, we die and rise again with Christ into a new way of living and being. Those washed in the waters of baptism, anointed as stewards, prophets, and royalty, stand reborn before the community. This community in turn promises to stand by the newly baptized in support, prayer, and affirmation of the sacramental vows.





Baptisms may take place on:



Baptism of Infants and Children

All parents who seek baptism for a child are asked to meet with the Rector and to participate in a baptism and confirmation class.


Adult Baptism

Adults seeking baptism need to speak to the Rector, and participate in one of the periodic baptism and confirmation classes offered at All Souls.
