Baptisms and dedications are part of our regular Sunday worship services, held three times each year — in January, May, and September.
At Ward, we baptize or dedicate children from infancy through kindergarten whose families are actively involved in the life of the church. Because baptism is a sign of ongoing commitment between the family and our congregation, we ask that at least one parent is a participating member of Ward Church.
Both baptism and dedication are meaningful ways to celebrate God’s work in a child’s life.
Infant Baptism is part of our Presbyterian heritage and what we teach and recommend. It’s a visible sign of God’s covenant — His promise of grace and belonging for your child. In baptism, God declares His love and the church promises to help your child grow in faith.
Child Dedication is also available for families who prefer to wait for baptism until their child can personally profess faith in Jesus. Dedication is a beautiful expression of a parent’s desire to raise their child in the faith and trust God’s guidance along the way.
Whether you choose baptism or dedication, both are moments of joy, prayer, and promise — not just for parents, but for our whole church family.
Before participating in baptism or dedication, parents attend a short Baptism & Dedication Class.
In this class, you’ll:
Meet our Family Ministry Director and other parents
Learn about the meaning and purpose of baptism and dedication
Discover practical ways to nurture faith at home
You’ll also receive our Parent Guide — a booklet that explains our beliefs, provides Scriptures, and answers common questions about baptism and dedication at Ward Church.

We can’t wait to celebrate this moment with your family!
