Confirmation
Confirmation and Reception
In Confirmation a person makes a mature profession of faith and is welcomed into the church by the Bishop with a blessing. Reception is also a mature profession of faith made by a person confirmed in another denomination who desires to become a full member of the Episcopal Church. Both Confirmation and Reception bestow rights of voting and serving in particular church ministries.
Confirmation and Reception are offered when the Bishop visits St. John’s, usually in October or November. A course of 8, 1.5 hour, classes are required for both and are offered usually in August and September. For more information, contact Fay Jones at 512-836-3974.

baptismHoly Baptism begins the Christian life with water and the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ. It is a public declaration of the deliberate decision to follow the path of Jesus. In the case of infant baptism, it is a statement of the intention of parents to raise a child in the way of Jesus. The link that God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble; so baptism is administered only once. LEARN MORE
