Baptisms and Christenings
Celebrating new life
​
Baptism is a wonderful celebration of new life and God's love and marks a coming to faith in Jesus Christ and being welcomed into the church family. Whether you'd like your child christened or you're an adult considering baptism for yourself, we'd love to walk that journey with you.
Baptisms often take place during our Sunday morning service so the whole church family can share in the celebration and welcome the newly baptised.​
​
Baptism and christening refer to the same thing. The term 'christening' is typically used to refer to a child being brought to baptism (usually by their parents). Baptism is used when referring to someone making their own decision to be baptised.
