BAPTISM PROGRAM—Have you been wondering about baptism for your child? Have you been waiting for the "right time"? Well, the right time is NOW! If you are interested in baptism at Trinity you can schedule a time to meet with Jeremy Ashley, for a “get to know you” conversation. While we're together we'll talk about what baptism is, how we do it, why we do it, what our role is, what a parent’s role is and how this all plays out in the “real life” of your home. The conversation is very comfortable and conversational in nature - not churchy or formal. Our time together can simply be for you to find out more about baptism or after we meet you may choose to schedule a baptism for your child! If you have any questions or to move forward with baptism, email me or 586-463-8803!
