Why not Infant Baptism?

At MVCC, we believe a person must make a personal committment to Christ as their Savior to be baptized. Therefore, we encourage parents to dedicate their children , praying, witnessing, instructing, and trusting in the Lord to lead their children to a saving faith in Christ.

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
