Baptism and Pastoral Care

We welcome the opportunity to baptize you and/or your children into Christian community.
 
All are welcome to seek baptism, regardless of church affiliation.
 
Let us know your desire to be baptized, or to baptize a young person/child, by emailing  St. Paul’s Poplar Springs
Holy Baptism in The Episcopal Church

Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble.

Each candidate for Holy Baptism may be sponsored by one or more baptized persons, called a sponsor or godparent.

Sponsors of adults and older children present their candidates and thereby signify their endorsement of the candidates and their intention to support them by prayer and example in their Christian life. Sponsors of infants, commonly called godparents, present their candidates, make promises in their own names, and also take vows on behalf of their candidates.

It is fitting that parents be included among the godparents of their own children. Parents and godparents are to be instructed in the meaning of Baptism, in their duties to help the new Christians grow in the knowledge and love of God, and in their responsibilities as members of his Church.
