A Baptism is a service which marks the beginning of a childs journey with God - a journey which continues for the rest of their lives. It's a first step in response to God's love. The wider community of the family and friends and the local church welcome the new Christian, promising support and prayer for the future.
Although the Church always calls this service Baptism, it’s also known as Christening, as it’s here that a child is given their Christian names and begins their Christian life.
What does it cost? There is no charge for Baptism apart from a £25 administration fee and donations to the church at the end of the service is really welcome!
