Baptisms

Thank you for your interest in a baptism at St. Peter’s. We believe that baptism is an act of God’s grace. In this simple ceremony of Word and water we are made a part of the family of God for all time and eternity. We do nothing to earn this privilege; it is a gift of God. And so Lutherans baptize people of all ages – from infancy up. Parents and sponsors of young children accept the responsibility to teach and nourish the child’s faith journey. St. Peter’s treats all people equally with regard to the pastoral services of the church, including baptisms.

Land Acknowledgement

 

The St. Peter’s Community’s physical church is located in the Haldimand Tract (1784). We are learning to be Treaty People through relationships with our Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron and Anishinaabe neighbours. Our ability to be working and living here now comes as a direct benefit of policies of expulsion and assimilation of Indigenous peoples during the time of settlement, Confederation, and since. The harms of these policies are many and are still being felt in Indigenous communities today.   -Adapted from the Eastern Synod
