Below is a four-part lecture series outlining the Scriptural basis for infant baptism,
originally hosted on our congregation's earlier website. The first lecture offers a
survey of Scriptural teaching on the place of believers' children in redemptive history,
from Genesis to Revelation. The remaining lectures explore three simple arguments for
infant baptism, based on a Scriptural understanding of the Covenant of Grace, the
Church, and circumcision.
