Confirmation & Reception
In Confirmation a person makes a mature profession of faith and is welcomed into full membership in the church by the Bishop with a blessing. Reception is 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.

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 bond that God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble; so baptism is administered only once. LEARN MORE
