Baptisms / Christenings

We are very pleased to baptise (christen) children who live in the parish.

If you would like your child baptised we will meet with you several times to discuss the Christian upbringing of children and the meaning of the Baptism service. Children are baptised on the basis of their parents’ commitment to live as followers of Jesus Christ, and on the understanding that parents and children will take part in the life of the Church community.

Older baptism candidates are also welcome, and we make special arrangements for their preparation.

For more information on the Baptism service, on what Baptism means and the role of Godparents, visit the Baptism service area of the Church of England website.
