Schedule a Baptism or Dedication

Here at Bethany we have infant and adult Baptism or infant and child dedication.  If you would like to schedule a baptism or dedication you need to first decide which one you would like.

Baptism - Pastor uses water.  Child or adult profess their acceptance of Christ.  Infant - parents profess for the child that they will bring the child up in the church.

Dedication - Parents dedicate the child to Christ.  When child (at any age) profess their accpetance of Christ, they can decide when to be baptized.

Baptism by Immersion - Due to transportation and time constraints, Bethany Church, nor its custodians or employees, are currently able to supply the baptismal tank used for immersion.  Trinity Wesleyan Church, 6735 Cetronia Road, Allentown, graciously allows our church family the use of their baptismal tank.  Please call them at 610-398-1711, to request its use and to make arrangements for it pick-up and return.  You are also responsible for filling and empting of the tank.  Please contact Bethany's Head Custodian, Mark Dougherty at 610-395-3613 ext. 37 for further instructions.  An Immersion Bapitsmal Information & Agreement form must also be signed.

Date and Service Time - Baptism/Dedication are done at all services except for the second week of the month.  We prefer to have no more than 2 per service.

Please call the church office at 610-395-3613 and one of the secretaries will help you with scheduling.

If the child is under 2 years old a secretary will contact you the week before the baptism/dedication regarding supplying family pictures.  These pictures will be displayed on the screen while Pastor Jim or a staff person walk the child around the sanctuary.
