Baptism FAQ

When & where do I come for my child's baptism?

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the service in which your child will be baptized. Your immediate family (husband and wife and children) should come to the Parlor (room 3319).

NOTE: We do have 1 reserved parking spot for your family on your baptism day. It’s located in the lot directly across from the Gym that faces Roswell Rd. Signs will be out to designate spaces. Enter through the front doors of the gym, come down that hallway and take a right and Room 3319 will be on your left. If you are having your child baptized during a service in The Summit, there will be a spot in the parking deck.

When & where should my extended family come?

Please encourage your extended family & friends to arrive closer to the scheduled service start time. An excellent place to gather is in the Williams Center. They may then walk up the stairs and enter the Sanctuary.

Where are the reserved seats in the Sanctuary?

We reserve seats “front and center” in the main, center section of the Sanctuary for our baptism families. If your family needs assistance, any usher can direct them to the baptism reserved seating. Please be sure to indicate on the bulletin information sheet how many seats to reserve for you on your baptism day – please don’t forget to include yourselves as you will join your family after the baptism.

What happens after the baptism?

Following the baptism portion of the worship service, we ask that you return to either the Williams Center or the Sanctuary. All baptism families will exit the platform together; go outside for photos (weather permitting) and at that point, you may gather in the Williams Center to meet up with your extended family, take your child to the church nursery, and return to the Sanctuary for worship.

Can we have pictures taken during the baptism?

We know that it's important to remember your child’s baptism day through pictures. We provide photographers who will take a family pictures outside (weather permitting) and a photographer who will take pictures of the actual baptism during the worship service. We ask that you keep the spirit of the worship service and that you tell your family to not take pictures – even digital pictures – during the worship service. We will mail the pictures to your home about 1-2 months after the baptism. Your family can, of course, take pictures before and after the service.

Can I get a video copy of my child's baptism?

Yes, again, please ask your family not to video tape the baptism. We are happy to make USB videos of the entire service available to your family at a cost of $10.00 each. Please play by credit card at the time of your online registration or make your check payable to PPC and write "baptism video" & the date and service time on the memo line. You can mail your check for the video to Peachtree's address with Attn: Kristy Baker. We will mail the videos along with your pictures to you about 1-2 months after the baptism.

What information is printed in the bulletin?

We WILL print the names of grandparents and siblings in the Sunday baptism bulletin. Please be certain to print the information clearly and return the form by the deadline printed. If we do not receive your information, we will not be able to print your information in the baptism bulletin.
