Sacrament of Baptism
The Book of Order describes baptism as "the sign and seal of incorporation into Christ, God's grace and covenant."  We also affirm that "the baptism of children witnesses to the truth that God's love claims people before they are able to respond to faith."  It is therefore administered to children in covenant with their parents and to those of maturity professing faith in Christ. At San Marino Community Church, not only the parents, but the entire church promises to help raise baptized children in the faith of Jesus Christ.
