Baptism
The most significant step you can take on the road to Christianity is to be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In fact, by virtue of baptism, you are a Christian. Every other moment of your Christian life is a matter of living up to the grace received by our Lord at the moment of baptism.
At St. Paul's we baptize children and adults. Most baptisms involve small children, with their parents and Godparents speaking on their behalf. However, every year, a number of adults, often individuals who quietly have been sitting in our pews for a period of months or even years, come to us ready to baptized and we are delighted to do so. Baptism, after all, is the entry point to the Church. But even more importantly, it transforms the life of the baptized by bringing him or her into communion with Christ and his Church.
At St. Paul's, all baptized Christians are invited to participate in Holy Communion.
If you (or your child) are ready for baptism, we encourage you to contact the church office at 928-782-5155. What’s more, we encourage you to come and worship with us regularly both before and after you are baptized, so that you may grow and learn and prosper in the faith.
