In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside and a new life of trust in God is embraced. Although Disciples practices baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored, including infant baptism.
Tour of Life
Each year, youth preparing for baptism and/or confirmation and a life of discipleship are invited to partake in a “Tour of Life”. On this day-long retreat, candidates for baptism are paired with an adult mentor as the group travels throughout the city, connecting the Christian faith to everyday life. Stops might include a visit to the Birthing Center at Poudre Valley Hospital, a volunteer work site, a school classroom, lunch around the communion table at church, a local funeral home and more. At each location there are activities and conversation regarding the Christian life and our call to a life of discipleship. This experience is offered in the Spring each year. To inquire about Tour of Life for your own child, contact one of our pastors.
Adult-Baptism
The decision to join others on the journey with God through Jesus can come at many points in life. We encourage and welcome all to enter the waters of baptism. Adults have participated in the “Tour of Life” class in meaningful ways and there are other possibilities regarding exploring the decisions to be baptized. Call one of the pastors to visit about a life of faith.
