Baptisms

We at Christ Church are dedicated to serving our community and those associated with it through the sacrament of Baptism. If you are interested in discussing baptism, please reach out to us using the contact details provided on our website.

We do not charge any fee for baptism, but we do ask those seeking baptism to engage with appropriate resources that help them to consider some of the central beliefs of the Christian faith.

At Christ Church, we offer baptism for adults who are making a commitment to follow Jesus for the first time. We also support the practice of Infant Baptism (sometimes referred to as a Christening).

Baptising a child based on their parent's faith can provide a solid foundation as they look back on their spiritual journey in the years ahead.

We believe that baptism is a decision we make to show our desire to live for Christ, but ultimately, it is all about what God has done in Jesus Christ on our behalf. Baptism symbolises physically what happens spiritually in us when we respond to God's call to be followers of Jesus.

Whether we are baptised as a child or an adult, our baptism is only made effective through our personal faith and relationship with Jesus as our Saviour and Lord.
