Through water at baptism, God embraces you — no matter who you are — and brings you into Christ’s Church.

When we baptize, we explain that the waters of baptism call forth the blessing already inside each person, granted to all through God’s gift of life. When baptizing an infant or child, the family promises to raise the child to be a reflection of God’s love and to follow in the way of Jesus. The church also promises to love, support, and care for you throughout your life.

Baptisms take place during our Sunday service where these promises are shared. To arrange a baptism, please call the church office at 413-253-2977 or email pastor@amherstsouthchurch.org to make an appointment with the Pastor.
