Children

But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:16

Baptism

null



Baptism is only the beginning of the faith journey for a child. Our church practices infant baptism, as Scripture speaks of baptism as entirely God's work—it is not dependent on our belief, on our acceptance of Jesus or God's truth, or on our choosing to follow Christ. Although many are baptized as infants, we also baptize older children as well as adults.

At Immanuel, membership is not required before bringing a child to baptism. The parents will receive counsel from the Pastor regarding baptism and the ongoing Christian training of the child. We look forward to walking alongside parents as they guide their children.

Our approach to confirmation seeks to encourage conversation and curiosity that leads to lifelong faith formation.

Each of the six Chief Parts of the catechism is handled in its own module, with a module running a total of 4 sequential weeks. Three modules will be offered each year so that a student could conceivably complete the educational component in two calendar years, if desired. In a season of life that is busy for both youth and adults, we believe this is the best way to account for full schedules without sacrificing any content or context for faith formation.

A set of capstone projects must also be completed before the confirmation ceremony. Once all of the requirements are met, a young person will be well-prepared to make his or her confirmation, which can be scheduled either for Reformation Sunday (in the fall) or Palm Sunday (in the spring).
