Baptism

Baptism is one of two Sacraments officially recognised in the traditions of the Church of England. This page gives details of how to arrange for a baptism with our Rector, Revd Geoff.

To make an enquiry for baptism, please download and complete the baptism form, and attach it to an email to [email protected]. Revd Geoff will then verify if he is free to celebrate the baptism, and that the church is also available on the date chosen by yourselves. He will then arrange an appointment with you, to check over the paperwork and to give brief baptism instruction (usually this takes approximately 50 minutes).

Also below is a PowerPoint presentation in three parts explaining in Part 1 what the term sacrament means, in Part 2 the meaning of baptism and its origins, and in Part 3 what the oils mean. 

There is also useful information on the official Church of England website: Christenings | The Church of England
