FAQs

Confirmation is when persons who were baptised as children, without having taken the baptismal vows for themselves, now make their personal and public profession of faith.

Persons of any age are suitable candidates for baptism because Christ’s body, the Church, is a great family that includes persons of all ages. On the day the Church was born, Peter preached: “Repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children” (Acts 2:38-39).

Children are presented for baptism by parents and/or sponsors (godparents) who make the same profession of faith that a candidate would make. Parents or sponsors (godparents) should be members of Christ’s holy Church and take responsibility for the Christian training of the baptised child. They promise to nurture the baptised children in their family and in the church family, so that they will come to accept God’s grace for themselves, to profess their faith openly, and to lead a Christian life.

Baptised children are enlisted in the preparatory roll of the church. When they reach the age of 16, they may make their own personal profession of faith at Confirmation. At Confirmation, they publicly profess their faith and assume both the baptismal vows taken on their behalf, as well as their membership vows. Until then, parents have the primary role and responsibility of passing on the faith to their children.

We tithe as an act of commitment to God. Although God does not need our money, He gives us the privilege of partnering Him in His work here on earth.

Pledging is a commitment to give consistently, while tithing is giving a tenth of our income. We urge worshippers to practice the biblical principle of tithing, as an expression of love and obedience to God.

Give what you can. With God’s help and as He blesses you with more, seek to increase your pledge amount gradually.

Yes, as long as you believe that God has called you to the ministry and mission of BRMC.

Members are encouraged to give via internet banking to help the church save on processing time.
