Baptism Team Members:

We welcome anyone 16 years or older wishing to assist with the preparation for Baptisms.  Our mission is to prepare the parents and godparents for the responsibility they accept in baptizing their children.  This ministry provides our faith community with an opportunity to fulfill their responsibility by assisting in the preparation and celebration of Baptisms.
 
We welcome and train new members as they volunteer.  If you are interested in being part of this team, please contact the church office (713-771-3596).
