In my work as a Chaplain at Unity Services, I'm often asked to perform private baptisms in the Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota metro area. I would be honored to come to your home or to a park to baptize your child. Just like your wedding, your child's home baptism can reflect your faith and your wishes. You do not have to use my services at your wedding for me to baptize your child, and you do not have to join a church.
A baptism is a way to welcome and introduce your child into a community of family and friends and God, give thanks, and explain the meaning behind your child's name. The decision to baptize a child is entirely up to you, the parents. Anyone at any age can be baptized, and it is not necessary for a baptism to place in a church. A private baptism can be performed in your home or in a park, but the place you select should be special, so when your child looks back on it, they will be proud of where it was held and how it was executed.
You will receive the scripting of the baptism to make sure it meets your approval. Most couples choose to have their children's baptisms in their homes, usually on a Sunday afternoon, with the godparents and other relatives attending. I will travel to anywhere in the Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota metro area, and I will bring the baptismal set, so there isn't anything you have to set up. The child is usually dressed in a christening dress or a nice outfit. There is an honorarium of $300. |
