Child Baptism Form (Grades 3-6)
At CrossRoads Church, we believe that baptism is a step of obedience for those who follow Jesus. It is a way for us to publicly declare that we acknowledge Jesus as Lord and are committing our lives to walking in His way.
We are so pleased that your child is interested in being baptized! With children, we like to confirm that they understand what they are doing and what baptism is all about. We strongly encourage our children to wait until they're at least in Grade 3 to be baptized, for the following reasons:
We are so pleased that your child is interested in being baptized! With children, we like to confirm that they understand what they are doing and what baptism is all about. We strongly encourage our children to wait until they're at least in Grade 3 to be baptized, for the following reasons:
- At CrossRoads Church, we believe baptism is a personal decision to declare faith, join the church and its mission, and marks the first act of obedience in following Jesus. The more comprehension children have in their decision, the more significant baptism will be to anchor them through the tough youth and young adult years.
- Throughout Scripture the Lord calls His people to remember His great and mighty acts. We want baptism to be a meaningful marker in children's lives that they can look back on and remember what God did!
The form below is meant to help your child think through their faith, their relationship with Jesus, and why they want to be baptized. Talk through the questions on the form with your child. If feel they are answering them with sincerity and understanding, then please submit this form and we will set up a time to talk with your child and see if baptism is the next right step!
If, as you're talking through these questions with your child, you feel that your child does not have enough clarity about their faith and the reason for this step of baptism, then you may need to reassure them that this is a wonderful, ongoing conversation, but they may need to wait until they are a bit older to be baptized.
