Baptism

What is Baptism?

Baptism is a sacramental seal that marks the acceptance of God’s children into Christian life. In the United Church of Canada, baptism is one of the two sacraments we celebrate, along with Holy Communion.


 At The Donway Covenant United Church, we have a baptism brouchure that you may reference for further information. Baptism Policy Brochure


Who Can Be Baptized?

The United Church offers baptism to all ages. We believe the gift of God’s love doesn’t depend on our ability to understand it, so we baptize people as infants right up through adulthood. With children, instruction is given to parents or sponsors to equip them for the child’s Christian nurture. During the ceremony, which takes place as part of a regular worship service, everyone in the congregation pledges support for the child (or person) and their parents. If you have questions about being baptized, contact our minister, Lorrie Daly-Price. Lorrie will be delighted to meet with you as an individual or as a family to discuss a date for your baptism as well as your particular needs.
