Baptisms & Christenings

Our warmest congratulations to you if you have recently experienced the joy and wonder of the arrival of a new child. Like many people at this wonderful stage of life, you may be looking for a way to thank God for giving you such an amazing gift. We would count it a privilege to offer you the opportunity to do just that, with our special service for baptism.

Find your local church here.

We sometimes use the words ‘baptism’ and ‘christening’ interchangeably – a baby or young child is ‘baptised’ in a ‘christening service’.
