Question 1

What is baptism for children?

Accepted Answer

Your child is precious to you and precious to God. In baptism, you as parents are thanking God for his gift of life, making a decision to start your child on the journey of faith, and asking for the church's support.  For your child, baptism marks the start of a journey of faith, which involves turning away from all that is evil, turning towards Christ, and becoming a member of the local and worldwide Christian family.  Baptism is a sacrament which is a visible sign of God's love. The declarations made by parents and sponsors (godparents) are usually made in front of the congregation, with the local church community promising to support and pray for you and your child.
