Baptism

At NYAPC, we practice both infant and adult baptism. We believe in one baptism. If you’ve been baptized in another church, we consider you baptized.

In infant baptism, ordinarily, the parent(s) or guardian(s) should be active congregation member(s). In worship, they promise to provide nurture and guidance within the community of faith until the child is ready to make a personal profession of faith and assume the responsibility of active church membership.

In adult baptism, the adult chooses to acknowledge the role of Jesus Christ in their life, making a profession of faith.
