Baptism at Peachtree
Baptism is one of the most significant parts of our worship. Here at Peachtree,
we baptize both adults and children. In both types of baptism, God is
at work in the lives of the one being baptized.
Adult Baptism
When an adult is baptized, they are making a profession of faith claiming
that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of their life. Baptism is just the
beginning of a person’s faith journey. Peachtree walks alongside people
who make this significant step in their life – helping them grow as followers
of Christ. If you are interested in knowing more about Jesus Christ or
would like to be baptized, please contact Dr. Chuck Roberts, Associate
Pastor, Evangelism and Discipleship at
or at 404-842-5883

Infant Baptism
When a child is baptized, the parents make a profession of faith on behalf
of their child. As the parents claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior,
they also make commitments to raise their child to know Jesus Christ.
In baptism, a child becomes a part of the church family but they must
one day, make their own decision to follow Jesus Christ. To learn more
about the theology of infant baptism, click here.
This decision often takes place in the elementary
or middle school years. Many of our children confirm their parents desire
when they go through the confirmation process, usually after their 8th
grade year. Peachtree walks alongside families as they teach their children
about faith and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Peachtree also provides
age appropriate and dynamic programs for children(link to children’s ministry)
and students (link to student ministry) as well as small group leaders
who mentor young people as they grow in their faith.
If you would like to have your child baptized, we invite you to choose
a Sunday and complete the information on line. If you prefer, you may
also contact Melissa Snipes at
or at 404-842-2170
to choose a time or to get more information.
In order to have a child baptized at Peachtree, at least one parent
must be an active member of Peachtree. In addition, all parents are required
to attend a baptism class that gives vital information about the
theology of baptism as well as the details for the baptism day.
Once you have chosen your date and filled out the information, you
will receive a confirmation phone call from Melissa. We look forward
to being a part of this significant event with your family. |
