Baptisms at Reveille

What does baptism mean at Reveille and how do I request one?

In The United Methodist Church, baptism is a sacrament. It is the movement of God in a child’s life. The child’s parents or caretakers make a public profession to raise the child in a Christian home. Baptism is a very special occasion in our church family, because our congregation also makes a public promise to help raise the child in the ways of God through faith, devotion, and love. Baptism may take place at any point in a child’s life; however, infants are typically baptized within the first year of their life. Children baptized before they are able to take the vows for themselves will make their profession of faith when they are older, in a ceremony called Confirmation. Adult baptism is also available. In the United Methodist Church, persons are baptized only once.
