Baptism

Baptism is the beginning of the journey of faith.

We often baptise babies and small children, wherein parents and godparents make promises on their behalf. One of the ministers will visit you at home and discuss the service and then if appropriate, arrange a date for you. Usually baptisms take place within is scheduled Sunday family service, so that the congregation can welcome you into the church family. To be a god-parent you need to be baptised.

Adults are also welcome to be baptised, whereon there is a short session of instruction in Christian Faith.

Weddings

All of our churches are available for weddings and we will welcome you, pray for you and help you both prepare for your special day. There can be church bells and organ or contemporary music and help with flowers and the clergy will meet with you to arrange legalities, explain the Christian wedding service and conduct a full rehearsal.
