Thinking About Baptism?
Baptism is how we welcome people of all ages into God’s family. It’s a symbol of a fresh start — like being born again — and shows a commitment to following Jesus.
During the service, water is used to show the washing away of sin, and the sign of the cross is made on the person’s forehead to mark them as a follower of Christ.
Adults and teens make their own promises, while for babies or young children (often called christenings), parents and godparents make the promises for them — committing to pray for and guide the child in the Christian faith.
We ask that parents and godparents are baptised too, but if you’re not, you can be baptised alongside your child or at another time.
We encourage families to start coming to church. Our main service is Sundays at 10:30am (with Sunday school), and we also run a fun, family-friendly service at 3:45pm once a month with crafts, songs, and stories.
There’s also a short prep course (4–5 sessions) where you can explore the basics of Christianity, often with a visit from the minister.
Baptisms usually happen at 12 noon after the main service — you can choose hymns and help shape the service around a favourite Bible story.
