The Half-Way Covenant adopted by Puritans in 1662 a. made Puritan children and grandchildren partial church members.

It was promoted by Reverend Solomon Stoddard. He felt that the people of the English colonies were drifting away from their original religious purpose by being more interested in material things.

Members, who accepted the Half-Way Covenant, agreed to follow the creed within the church and were allowed to participate in the Lord's supper. Accepting the covenant allowed the holders to have their children be baptised in the church.
