Life Events

Baptisms

Everyone is welcome to have their children christened in their parish church. During the christening service your child will be baptised, and with the support of the church, you and godparents, your child begins an amazing journey of faith.

For older children and adults wanting to explore baptism and confirmation we offer a chance to find out more about the Christian faith before the service.

We also offer a Thanksgiving Service for the gift of a child. This works well for families looking for a naming service and a space to thank God and pray for his blessing on your child as they gently explore the Christian faith together. Please get in touch to find out more as we would love to welcome you and help you to work out what is right for you or your family.

We also offer an opportunity to have your refreshements at the church. Please contact the team for more information.
