For infant/child baptisms: We are blessed to participate in this holy sacrament of baptism with your family. We believe that by choosing to have your child baptized, you are being connected to the body of Christ, the larger church family of Shandon UMC. The baptismal covenant is connectional in nature, made in public and witnessed by others who vow to support your family in nurturing the development of your child. At least one parent or grandparent of a child being baptized must be a member of Shandon United Methodist Church. Complete the online baptism form.
