The Sacrament of Baptism is a significant spiritual milestone in the life of your family. At Lake Magdalene, we value the special significance of the ceremony within the worship service. In order to make it special for the person being Baptized and/or their families, it is important that we have the opportunity to meet with one another and talk about the baptismal service.  If you are considering a Baptism, please call and make an appointment to come in and talk to the pastor and select a date for this event. Contact Cyndie Petrus, Coordinator of Hospitality, Connection and Care at (813) 961-1254 or [email protected] to schedule an appointment.
