BAPTISMS, WEDDINGS & MEMORIALS
Sacred moments, lasting memories
BAPTISMS
The sacrament of baptism is the sign and seal of the covenant God has made with us in Jesus Christ. Our Christian identity begins in baptism, and in this sacrament we are marked forever as Christ's own. Baptism assures us of our cleansing from sin and of our welcome into the household of God. We gladly celebrate baptism of infants, youth and adults in our worship services. Baptisms are for members, former members and their immediate family. Coordinate with the church office and pastor.
Weddings
When two people are joined in marriage, they not only pledge faith to one another, they also enter into a covenant with God.
Therefore, we believe a wedding ceremony is a celebration of worship. We also believe marriage is a serious commitment that should be entered into prayerfully.
Please contact the church office, 757-722-0006 or by email fpcoffice@firstpreshampton.org with any questions or to have a copy of our Wedding Reservation form and Wedding Guidelines sent to you.
Get more information about weddings are in our Wedding Guidelines.
MEMORIALS
As the church embraces us in baptism and throughout our Christian life, so it stands ready to embrace us in death and comfort us with the assurance of eternity.
Our pastor and staff are available to guide you and answer any questions you may have in planning for a memorial or funeral service. Additionally, we offer the option of interring ashes in our beautiful scatter garden, a peaceful space where loved ones' remains can be returned to the earth in a meaningful way. Funerals and memorial services are for members, former members and their immediate family and must be coordinated with the pastor. Placement of ashes in our memorial garden may only be done as part of a religious service. (Note: we have a memorial garden guidelines which are not currently available online)
For more information or to discuss your plans, please contact the church office at 757-722-0006 or by email at fpcoffice@firstpreshampton.org.
