Baptism is an important step in a persons life. We are happy to baptise both children or adults. It is a wonderful moment, not just
for the person being baptised, but for the whole Christian family.
Baptism is a sacrament which symbolises a real desire to turn to God, or to bring up a child as a Christian. The only reason to be baptised is that you intend your child to be a part of the Church family, to become a regular worshipper and to grow up in a real and active Christian faith.
Baptism involves making some promises to God and to his people gathered together to worship. These are solemn promises, which
must be carefully made to have any meaning. Here are some of promises made in the baptism service.

When do Baptisms take place?
Generally these take place on a Sunday lunchtime but we can be flexible with dates and times. The more notice you can give us the better! Please use the Contact page to get in touch.
What about Godparents?
The Church of England requires that all godparents should have themselves been baptised. They do not have to be member of the Church of England.
What happens at a Baptism service?
You will be given a special Baptism Candle and there are certificates for the person being baptised and for the godparents.
Is there a charge for baptism?
There is no charge but we do have a collection in all our services in order to cover the cost of running the Church.
What about photos and videos?
You can take pictures or videos as long as this is not intrusive.
