What to include in a baptism program
A baptism program typically opens with the church name and service date, followed by the order of service so guests can follow along. Add the names of the baptism candidates, a scripture reference section using placeholders such as Romans 6:4, and the speaker or officiant leading each part. A short welcome message helps visiting family and friends feel at home.
Lay out the order of service clearly
Group the program into clear sections such as welcome, scripture, the baptisms themselves, and a closing so attendees always know what comes next. List candidate names in the order they will be baptized when possible. Preview the spacing so a long candidate list still fits cleanly on the page before you export.
