We would be delighted to baptise (christen) your child in either of our Churches. If you yourself have not been baptised, then you are very welcome to ask about what baptism entails for an adult or older child too.
At the baptism of a child, parents and godparents make public promises at the beginning of his/her journey of faith, and enter into a community of faith with the church family. You will be asked to declare publicly that you will bring your child up to follow Jesus who came to help us, "live life to the full" (John 10:10).
If you would like more information on this and to book a baptism for your child, join us on a Sunday and speak to the person leading the service afterwards, or contact our Mission Area Administrator, Imogen, here.

What is Baptism?
The Gospels tell us that Jesus himself was baptised, by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, and that Jesus commanded his disciples to go out into the world and baptise. Baptism is a sacrament for all those who wish to become his disciples. The Church welcomes to Baptism all who wish to make a declaration of faith in Jesus Christ, including infants and children whose parents and godparents make that declaration on their behalf. Jesus teaches his people that all who would enter his kingdom must be born again of water and the Spirit. Baptism is the sign of this new birth.
