Baptism, Reaffirmation and Dedication Information

Upper Room baptizes and dedicates infants and we offer baptism or reaffirmation of baptism for elementary aged children through adults.

Click here to see a document that outlines Upper Room’s beliefs about baptism. We hope that you will find it helpful, but our orientation will be your opportunity to learn more and ask any questions you might have.

INFANT BAPTISM or DEDICATION

Infant baptisms/dedications are held several times through out the year both at church with other families or at the individual’s private home. Upper Room believes that baptism/dedications are most fully experienced in the context of the community in which the family is connected into so that we can mutually support one another in our journeys.

We ask that families attend a one hour orientation class on a Sunday afternoon in which we share our beliefs about baptism and get to know you a little bit better. Our infant baptisms are held on Saturday mornings at our St Louis Park worship location.

If you would like to participate in an infant baptism/dedication experience please fill out our online form and a pastor will contact you will more specific information.

If you have any questions that you would like answered before making a decision to go forward with a baptism please contact Kathy Jones or call 612-353-5641.
