Do we have to be members?
Yes, the Presbyterian Church requires that at least one of the parents or guardians of the child must be a member of MPPC. Or, if you are an active member elsewhere, you can ask that Session to write a letter requesting Myers Park Pres do the baptism on their behalf.
Is there a required class?
If this is your first child baptized at MPPC, you are required to take a Baptism Class, which is offered once a month in-person or via Teams. Both parents are encouraged to attend, along with their kiddos. Scroll down for the class schedule.
Can we schedule a private baptism?
No, private baptisms are not allowed within the Presbyterian Church. The only exceptions to this are very unique circumstances, such as the child having a serious illness.
