Your Child's Baptism
Baptisms take place within the main Sunday service, and you have a choice of any of the four churches. We hope that it will be a happy and memorable time for all concerned and, like everything else important in life, your child’s baptism will require careful planning and preparation. We will take your contact details and arrange to meet with you so that we can explain what the church offers for children and young people and also let you know the next steps in the process of preparing for the baptism.
We have prepared a short booklet that briefly describes baptism. The vicar will answer any of your questions about the service, faith or facilities that we have to offer when he comes to visit. Click the icon to the left to download
