Infant Baptism and Thanksgiving 

If you've recently had a baby, congratulations! You're probably here because you want to see your child grow up to be follower of Jesus, or simply to bring the joy of that new life to God.

As an Anglican Bible-believing church, we offer Baptism (or "christening", as some call it), in which we celebrate the gospel promises of Jesus to your child, and declare the Christian faith and church membership in which he or she will be raised. That's both a serious and a joyful option, and it needs careful thought ahead of time.

Alternatively, you can bring the baby to church and we'll give thanks for his or her arrival and pray for you as a family together.  And we can make it special by involving any family or friends who will support your child as he/she grows, and support you, too.

Either way, do just come to church, and talk to one of the clergy afterwards. We'll then pick up the conversation with you and discuss what you think might be best.
Baptism and Thanksgiving services are all offered within the 9.30am service.

Adults

We are delighted to celebrate the faith of those who have not been baptised before, and we can offer baptism, either from the font or in a baptism pool for full immersion. For those who have not been baptised before, we encourage all of our candidates to have a conversation with the Rector to see if it is the next step for you, and to attend a Baptism Course.
We are not able to "re-baptise" those already baptised, but there are various ways of making a recommitment moment really important and helpful for you.
We regularly participate in confirmation services when the bishop visits to confirm the baptised.
