Moravian modes of baptism are historically administered in three different ways or modes.

Immersion: When immersion is practiced, the pastor lowers the person being baptized into the water until he or she is completely covered, then raises them up again.

Sprinkling: When sprinkling is practiced, the pastor dips his or her fingers into the baptismal font or bowl, then sprinkles water upon the head of the person being baptized.

Pouring: When pouring is practiced, the pastor uses a baptismal bowl or pitcher to pour water upon the head of the person being baptized.
