Does Rolling Hills baptize infants?
No. According to Acts 2:38-39, the biblical pattern for baptism is to:
Repent (turn from our sins)
Believe (trust in Christ for forgiveness of sins)
Be baptized
Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward reality. Although infants and very young children belong to God (2 Samuel 12:23), they do not yet have the capacity to repent and believe. Also, the Bible does not support infant baptism. At Rolling Hills, parents may dedicate their children to the Lord. Learn more about Child Dedication
