You’ve indicated that you’d like us to transfer your records to/from Salt Lake City.

You’ve indicated that you’ve been ordained. The following questions will be asked of your ordination.

You’ve indicated that we’re recording a blessing, adoption, or baptism/confirmation.

I want my previous baptism from another Christian church acknowledged in lieu of baptism in Community of Christ.

Yes, and I agree to the conditions set below.

A Christian minister, clergyperson, or pastor baptized me by immersion, pouring, or sprinkling.
My baptism was a personal expression of faith in Jesus Christ when I was 8 or older.
I am familiar with and embrace the vision, mission, message, sacraments, and basic beliefs of Community of Christ.
I am familiar with and embrace the responsibility of all church members to contribute to Local and World Ministries Mission Tithes according to our true capacity.
I am actively involved in a Community of Christ congregation or ministry fellowship (typically at least six months).
(It is understood that in some cases, a person may wish to join the church while living in an area isolated from other congregations. In these situations, the criteria of “active” will need to be interpreted by the Mission Center President, in consultation with the Field Apostle. The primary point is that people desiring to be confirmed should be as “active” as possible, given their circumstance. In some cases, if a person is isolated from the organized ministries of the church, “activity” in the church may be lived out at the mission center level or through ongoing contact with church officers.)
I acknowledge that I must fill out a Shared Understanding of Shared Baptism form.

Salt Lake Community of Christ recognizes multiple family formations. As such, we have replaced the primary parentage information that traditionally reads, “Father” and “Mother” to be “Parent 1” and “Parent 2”. On your records, you may see “Father and Mother” represented on official church documentation, but this does not reflect the views of the Salt Lake Community of Christ congregation.
