BAPTISM / CHRISTENING

244343212_4152882998155777_8376491407132626724_n.jpg

Baptism/Christening is the way that we join the Church and make our commitment to belong to it. The words "baptism" and "christening" describe the same service: it doesn't matter which word is used.

​

You can join the Church at any age. If the candidate is a child, there are godparents involved who make promises on the child's behalf to pray for them and to ensure the child is brought up within the church community.

​

If you would like to find out more about you or your child being christened, come along to a Sunday service and speak to Revd Emma afterwards. If Sunday mornings are difficult for you because of work or other commitments, email Revd Emma directly (there is a contact form on the church contact details page).
