‘Baptism of either a child or an adult is an occasion of great joy for the candidate, their family and friends and the Church. It is the start of a new journey with Jesus at its heart.’

From the Church of England website

People of all ages are welcome to be baptised at any of our six beautiful churches following contact with a member of our Ministry Team and preparation. Baptism is a significant moment in the life of the person being baptised. Often that person is a young child and the baptismal promises are made by the child’s parents and Godparents. Sometimes people seek baptism as adults where, following a period of preparation, they can make their own baptismal promises for themselves.

I’m interested, what’s next?

Baptism, at its heart, means becoming part of the Church family so it’s good to have or to start a connection with the Church through its worship, events and activities.

Attend a preparation session

For the Baptism of a child we invite them and their families to a preparation session. There you will be able to meet with members of the ministry team and learn all about what is involved during the service. Adults seeking baptism will meet with a minister to talk about their journey of faith and complete a series of preparation sessions. Dates for baptisms are discussed during and booked at or after the preparation session.

Minister’s Visit

After we’ve agreed a date for the baptism we’ll be in touch to arrange a meeting between you and the Minister who’ll be officiating at the baptism. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions and hear more about the service itself.
