Youth/Adult Baptism and Membership Class 2023.2

We invite all those who are deciding to make a public profession of their faith through water baptism and/or to express your desire to a deeper discipleship by committing yourself to the local community in Paya Lebar Methodist Church. You should have been worshipping with us for at least the last 6 months if you are considering membership in PLMC.

During this class, we explore the significance of baptism and its connection to the Christian faith. We will delve into the biblical teachings on baptism and discuss its meaning for you. Additionally, we will cover the importance of church membership and what it means to be part of our faith community.

You will also have an opportunity to experience the life of a cell group during the small group discussions led by our leaders. The leaders will guide the discussions, answer questions, and provide support throughout the class. It will be a time of learning, reflection, and fellowship as we journey together in our commitment to Christ.

It is important that you attend every component of the class which will prepare you for the commitment you are taking in baptism and becoming a member in PLMC.

If you or someone you know is interested in being baptized or becoming a member of our church, we encourage you to attend this class. It is open to both youth (with parental consent) and adults.

Infant/Child baptism is a cherished tradition in our church, representing a significant milestone in a child's spiritual journey. Through this sacrament, we affirm our commitment to raising children in the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, surrounded by a nurturing faith community.

We understand that this is an important decision for families, and we encourage parents to prayerfully consider the significance of baptism in their child's life. Prior to the baptism, we will be conducting a mandatory Parent’s Briefing, where we will explain the significance of baptism for your child and provide guidance on raising children in the Christian faith.

Do you know the reason many are unable to walk in wholeness and the purpose of God? It’s because we are broken on the inside.

Come and learn the causes of our brokenness like rejection, fear, guilt, anger, rebellion, bitterness , negative soul ties, shame and find freedom in the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus said in Luke 4:18
