What is Baptism?

 

This is a service that marks the beginning of a child’s journey with God -

a journey which continues for the rest of their lives. 

It’s a first step in response to God’s love.

The wider community of the family and friends and the local church

welcome the new Christian, promising support and prayer for the future,

 

Although the Church always calls this service Baptism, it’s also known as Christening, as it’s here that a child is given their Christian names and begins their Christian life.

 

When can my child be baptised?

 

Baptisms of infants and children take place on the 3rd Sunday of the month:

11.30am at St. Michael’s
1.30pm at All Saints’

 

You’ll need two or more Godparents or Sponsors.

​

Can I be baptised?

 

Yes! We also offer baptism to adults.

​

What does it cost?

 

There is no charge for Baptism apart from a £45 administration & heating fee.  
A donation to the Church at the end of the service is really welcome!
