The Moravian Church recognizes
the sacraments of Baptism and of Holy Communion. The usual mode of baptism is sprinkling and the church administers the sacrament
in the name of the Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). In the case of infant baptism, the sacrament carries with it
the responsibility of parents, child and congregation. Through baptism the individual receives a pledge of the forgiveness
of sin and admission into the covenant of God through the blood of Christ. Children may be baptized as a sign and pledge to
them of the promise of Christ that theirs "is the kingdom of Heaven." Youth and adults confirm their baptismal covenant
or are received by adult baptism when they make a profession of faith.
In respect to the sacrament of holy communion,
the Moravian Church does not try to define the mystery of Christ's presence in the communion elements, but recognizes
that the believer participates in a unique act of covenant with Christ as Savior and with other believers in Christ. The Moravian
service of holy communion is a service of praise and prayer (with hymns being sung as the elements are distributed to all
communicants); of fellowship (with the right hand of fellowship extended at the beginning and close of the service); and of
special covenant with Christ and with each other.

In accepting other creeds of the Christian Church (such as the Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, the Augsburg Confession)
and in its practice, the Moravian Church has always stood by its motto: "In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty;
and in all things, love."
