Adult Confirmation
Once a year classes are offered for those who wish to be
baptised, those who are baptised but not confirmed, or those who are
already baptised
Membership Transfer
Special services are held twice a year, spring and fall, to welcome
new members by transfer of membership from other Churches.
Baptism
Every month.
In the United Church of Canada Baptism is a Sacrament. A Sacrament is
a sacred action. Our actions symbolize “God with us” for our words are
not enough to describe the experience.
When a child is born to us we turn in gratefulness to God, the source
of all life for the blessing of the child. We look for guidance and
strength to raise the child. We believe that these strong feelings often
encourage us to seek the church to honour our child.
