The Congregation’s responsibilities The congregation too has its responsibility. As a sign of this, baptism normally takes place during public worship in front of the congregation. As a sign of these responsibilities, the members stand at your child’s baptism, for they have vows to take to help you raise your child in our faith. Within the church family, in Sunday School, youth fellowship and by other means, the congregation will help to provide for your child’s Christian growth. We expect that you will take these opportunities, and that since you are members not just of one congregation, but of Christ’s church, you will make full use of them wherever you may settle in years to come.
