Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals

Baptisms

The Sacrament of Baptism takes place during one of our Sunday worship services.

We celebrate many infant and child baptisms, as parents claim God’s covenant promises on behalf of their children and declare their intention to raise their children as followers of Christ. We also celebrate adult baptisms, as individuals profess their Christian faith for the first time.

If you desire to be baptized or to have your child baptized, please contact a pastor or the church office at 609-395-0897. One of the pastors will meet with you to talk about what it means to have you or your child baptized and what you can expect during the baptism.

Weddings

Marriage is a gift God has given to all humanity for the well being of the entire human family. It is a covenant through which a couple is called by God to live out together their lives of discipleship. In a service of Christian marriage, a lifelong commitment is made that is publicly witnessed and acknowledged by the worshiping community of faith.

Our Wedding Policy

We encourage all future brides and grooms to become a part of our church family by worshipping with us on Sundays at least one year before the wedding date. We invite all those who are not yet members to consider joining our church.

Funerals

Presbyterians believe that "resurrection is a central doctrine of the Christian faith and shapes Christians' attitudes and responses to the event of death. Death brings loss, sorrow, and grief to all. In the face of death Christians affirm with tears and joy the hope of the gospel. Christians do not bear bereavement in isolation but are sustained by the power of the Spirit and the community of faith. The church offers a ministry of love and hope to all who grieve." (PC (USA) Book of Order W-6.3006)
