Note on Infant Baptism

Grace Communion International continues to affirm and practice infant baptism. This edition includes one baptism ceremony for all ages, reflecting our understanding that there is one baptism into Christ. Congregations that baptize infants are encouraged to provide an intentional discipleship pathway leading to Confirmation, where those baptized as infants can publicly affirm their faith.
