BAPTISMS
START AN AMAZING JOURNEY
During their Baptism or Christening your child will be baptised with water. It’s the start of an amazing journey of faith for your child and a special day for all your friends and family. Baptism is a visible sign of God’s love. At a Baptism service, we are thanking God for the gift of life and preparing a child for their life ahead.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
​
Baptisms are usually held in our Sunday services.
Before we set a date, we will ask you to come along at worship with us one Sunday, so you can meet the new family your child will be joining!
​
One of the Ministry Team will then come and visit you at home to talk through the service. ​
​
​HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
​
​There are no fees for Baptisms – God’s love is free. However, if you felt able to make a donation to help the ministry of the Church, we would be most grateful.
​
WHO CAN BE CHRISTENED IN OUR CHURCHES?
​
Anyone! If you live in one of the parishes or have strong connections to the Churches here, we would be delighted to have a Baptism service for you.
As parents, you don’t have to be Christened yourself to bring your child for Baptism. And you don’t have to be a baby – Baptism is for anyone of any age who wants to begin or take another step on their faith journey.
