Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was baptized as a child in the Roman Catholic church. As a teenager, she began attending the Wasilla Assembly of God Church where she made a profession of faith and was baptized by founding pastor, Paul Riley. Now in his 80’s, Riley still serves as a prison chaplain. Palin attended that Pentecostal church until she was 38 years old, when she switched to Wasilla Bible Church because of the church's ministry for children. Senior pastor Larry Kroons says the Palin family has attended for six years and their new baby was dedicated at the church two weeks ago. Nevertheless, the McCain-Palin campaign says Palin attends many churches and does not consider herself to be Pentecostal.
