Baptism at Northminster

A sacred step into God’s grace and our faith community.

An older man with glasses and gray hair is laying hands on the head of a young boy with curly hair, who has his eyes closed and appears to be praying or meditating. Another young girl with long red hair and a green shirt stands nearby, looking down. The setting appears to be on a stage or in a church.

At Northminster, we see baptism as a sacred moment—God’s “yes” to us and our welcome into the covenant community of faith. Whether you're taking this step for yourself or your child, we’d be honored to walk with you.
