Baptisms

Your child is a wonderful gift from God. We love to welcome families who want to thank God, and bring their little ones to be part of the church family.

We offer two different types of service: a service of Blessing for your child or a service of Baptism, marking the start of a journey of faith. Both are ways of celebrating the life of your child, and offer the opportunity for a family celebration. The main difference is the extent and depth of Christian commitment that each service asks of you. The information sheet and enquiry form give more information. We’d be happy to meet and talk through with you what baptism means and taking things forward.
