Baptism Service

At this service, you the parent(s), along with Godparents, say

• that you are real Christians - those who love Jesus Christ

• that you are members of his church

• that you obey his teaching in life (eg you are married, or plan to marry if you are living together).

Having said this about yourselves, you then promise to bring up your child in this faith by teaching him/her from the bible, and by praying together with your child, and by bringing him/her with you as you come to church.

So the service of Baptism is for parents who are Christians and who show that in the way they live/go to church.

If you wish to have your child baptised but you are not yet a Christian, then obviously we need to spend time with you introducing you to Christianity.

We will invite you to come to our “Christianity Explained” course - which is run either with a group of people in someone’s house, or with individuals in the comfort of their own home.

Attending this course does not guarantee baptism. 

It simply gives you the information you need to decide whether or not to become a Christian.

A decision about whether to proceed to a Baptism Service or not can be made after the course.

We appreciate however that you might not yet feel ready to take this step, and so we offer the service of Thanksgiving as an alternative.
