Baptisms

Baptisms (Christening)

Baptism is one of the central acts of the Christian Church.  It is the act by which  the person being baptised declares their commitment to Christ and their intention to follow him all the days of their life in a public way.

In the service the person also declares their intention to be active within the life of the church.

Baptism is the beginning of the relationship with Christ and what follows needs to enable the baptised person to grow in the faith. This is true for those who come for baptism at a later stage in their life as well as those who are baptised as infants.  This is by taking part in worship and learning to pray.  It is as this happened that the child learns to know God as their heavenly Father.  Eventually it is hoped that the children will want to make the commitment for themselves in CONFIRMATION.
