Baptism at The Grainery

What is Baptism?

What is a Baby Dedication?

We believe that baptism is a sacred step of obedience and faith.

It should take place when a person is ready to make a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ – choosing to commit their life to God and publicly declare that commitment. Baptism is not simply a ritual, but a meaningful response to God’s grace, reflecting an individual’s own journey and relationship with Him.

Therefore, at The Grainery, we offer baby dedication to the Lord, rather than infant baptism. At a baby dedication, the parents and the chosen prayer guardians make a public declaration to raise their child in accordance with God’s word, to support their spiritual growth and guide them in the fulfilment of God’s purpose for their life, and to uplift them in prayer.

If you are interested in dedicating your baby or child to the Lord, please contact our church office at hello@grainery.org.au.
