Godparents
We encourage you to think of the role of a godparent as spiritual. As you select godparents, we encourage you to consider who you might like to have as a committed spiritual friend/guide for the candidate. A godparent should be a baptized Christian individual or couple who commits to pray for and support the child in their life in Christ by modeling Christian discipleship. Godparents make promises in their own names and also take vows on behalf of their candidates as part of the baptism service. You are encouraged to prayerfully select people who might serve as a model of faith for the candidate. Godparents could be church friends, life group members, family members, or older spiritual guides.
