We look forward to making your baptism a wonderful celebration of new life in the Kingdom of God. To be baptized a Christian at All Saints' Episcopal Church, one must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. For infant baptisms, this means the parent or parents meet this biblical standard.

The clergy offer baptism instruction. The topics of instruction are:

Review of the Baptism Customary & Preparations for Holy
 Baptism

Holy Scripture and Christian faith

The baptism portion of the Book of Common Prayer

The best times for baptisms at All Saints' are: The Great Vigil of Easter, Pentecost Sunday, All Saints' Sunday, and The First Sunday after the Epiphany.

Baptisms are also scheduled on Sundays most convenient to those requesting the baptism, provided they are not on a Sunday in Lent when baptisms are not conducted or on a Sunday where there is a special parish celebration.

Baptisms are also scheduled during weekday office hours, on Wednesday at the 6:00 p.m. worship service, on Saturday at the 4:00 p.m. worship service, and following that service at 5:30 p.m. in St. Mary's Chapel.

Infant Baptism When Parents Attend Another Church

1. The parent’s pastor must supply us with a letter stating the parents are active in worship and support.

2. Baptism counseling must be done by the other pastor, prior to the baptism.

3. The baptism certificate is created as a courtesy baptism certificate for the other church.

4. Godparent certificates are supplied, if desired, by the other pastor.

5. The baptism information is sent to the other pastor and it is entered on the records of the parent’s church.
