Faith in Christ alone, rather than age, determines eligibility for baptism. However, for the child's benefit and the church community's sake, it is often wise to wait until they reach a certain level of maturity before baptism. It is important that the child fully understands what baptism symbolizes and wants to make that personal public declaration. We encourage parents to partner with LH Kids and LH Students ministries to assist their children in making these faith-based choices.
