Baptism Class
Contact: Pastor Trevor Dancer
Thinking about baptism? In the United Methodist Church, we believe that baptism is an important spiritual event in our lives. It marks the moment we say, “Yes,” in a big way to God. Whether you’re a parent curious about baptism for your child or an adult exploring what baptism might mean for you in your faith journey, Pastor Trevor would be thrilled to speak with you!
