We are delighted that you are considering having your child baptised. The baptism service is a time of celebration and joy. It is also a very important event in the journey of faith for both you and your child.

Baptism is all about being open to God’s love and becoming a lifelong member of the Church Family. We welcome you and look forward to growing in friendship and commitment to one another over the coming years.

  
Through baptism you belong to the Church Family, and we hope that you will soon feel at home. Naturally you want the best for your child, and we have prepared these pages and our baptism pack to help you along the way as you plan and prepare for the baptism, and to answer a number of questions that we are often asked.
