Sponsor/Godparent Information
The Book of Common Prayer specifies that each candidate for Holy Baptism is to be sponsored by one or more baptized persons. Sponsors of an infant or child, commonly called godparents, present their candidate, make promises in their own names, and also take vows on behalf of their candidate (page 298).

Baptism Service Selection
Baptisms are offered on the dates and times listed below. Please select your prefered date(s). The Episcopal Church requires that parents and godparents “are to be instructed in the meaning of Baptism, in their duties to help the new Christians grow in the knowledge and love of God, and in their responsibilities as members of this Church.” (Book of Common Prayer, page 298). At The Falls Church, this instruction takes place in a preparatory meeting with our family minister and at a pre-baptism rehearsal with a priest. To reserve a preparation time, contact our Associate Rector, The Rev’d. Matthew Machowski, at mmachowski@thefallschurch.org.
