In the Uniting Church, Baptism is a sign of new life through Jesus and unites us with Christ and the people of God. It is the initiation into the way of life taught by Jesus and practised by the Church. Baptism is the first of two Sacraments the Uniting Church celebrates.
The Uniting Church practices Baptism for those who confess the Christian faith themselves, and those who are presented for Baptism by parents or guardians.
Confirmation is an opportunity for those Baptised as infants or children to reaffirm their faith as adults who have determined to continue in the way of Jesus.
