Baptism (sometimes known as Christening) marks a new beginning of Christian life whether we are adults, young people or children. There is no cost for a Baptism.

We look forward to welcoming families to church for Baptism. It’s always a time of joyful celebration when we thank God for our children and welcome them into the Church.

If you would like to consider booking a baptism please do contact Revd Kate Byrom for details of our baptism preparation on 01623 452431 or email [email protected]

Baptisms at the Abbey are usually held at 12.30pm, after the service of Morning Prayer or Holy Communion on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.

An alternative to a Baptism Service is a Service of Thanksgiving, where the parents and sponsors thank God for the gift of a child, without making promises on behalf of the child about their commitment to the Christian faith.
