Baptism

Picture
Holy Baptism is the sacred means of being cleansed of sins, joining with Christ, receiving the Holy Spirit for ministry, and becoming a member of Christ’s body, the church.

If you wish to be baptized, or for your child to be baptized, contact the Rector at the church office, 512-836-3974, or request an appointment at info@austinstjohns.org.

Requirements for baptism at St. John’s are:
  • Regular attendance at Sunday and/or Wednesday worship services for a minimum of 3 months.
  • At least one sponsor or Godparent must be baptized (in any denomination)
  • Attend four classes plus a practice session (classes arranged upon request)
We do not charge for baptisms. However, as many people wish to make a special offering, we suggest a donation of $25 or more.

Baptism Days - Except in cases of emergency, baptisms are performed during our Sunday Services. 

marriage

We welcome all couples, church members and non-church members, to be married at St. John's Episcopal Church. Weddings require preparation in addition to scheduling, including pastoral counseling, and additional requirements for those who have been previously married.  LEARN MORE 

confirmation

​​Confirmation is the laying on of hands by a bishop when individuals reach an age when ready to make a mature commitment to a life of faith. Those baptized at an early age, adults baptized without a bishop, and those being baptized in the presence of bishop may join in the ancient tradition of the laying on of hands that stretches back to the first disciplines of Jesus. LEARN MORE

funerals

The liturgy for the dead honors grief and celebrates the joy of life and the resurrection. Jesus, himself, wept over the death of a loved one, and gifted us with the resurrection. The service is characterized by both this understanding of loss, and a celebration of life. LEARN MORE

quinceañeras

The transition from childhood to woman is an important event in almost any culture. Hispanics, however, mark this momentous occasion with the celebration of a tradition of Quinceañera. St. John's is proud to offer this joyful celebration in the life of a family. LEARN MORE
