Meet with other parents, a Pastor, and the Family Ministry Director to learn about the promises made at baptism and the baptism process at SOTV. Families must attend class before their first baptism at SOTV. Children are welcome; most classes meet in the nursery, and many activities are participatory and age-appropriate. The class is approximately one hour.

Baptism class for parents of infants and toddlers is held monthly throughout the year. Baptism classes for older children/youth and their parents are held annually. For adults or older teens interested in baptism, please email Pastor Peter Harrits. 

Shepherd of the Valley is committed to welcoming people of all abilities and working to understand and meet the needs of our congregation. If your child needs an accommodation, modification, or assistance to fully participate in this event, please indicate this in the “Health Concern Explanation” field of your registration, and your program leader will follow up if there are questions. We may not be able to meet all requests at this time.

We intend to take photos and/or video during programming and other events, which may appear in worship, social media, website, or congregational communication without names listed. If you have a concern about this, please email Kelsey Young.
