What is Baptism
Baptism (or Christening) marks the beginning of the journey of faith for Christians and can be undertaken at any age. Baptism is a response to God’s love – a desire and a commitment to respond to God’s call to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
It is also a celebration, a time to come together with family and friends; remembering that you are loved by God, are part of a wider community and have a place with God’s people.
Baptism marks the start of a lifetime of discovery about the Christian faith and how life-changing that can be. It’s a journey of surprises, challenges and adventure.
Baptism
Baptism is a sign and seal of this new life in Christ.
What happens spiritually when we come to God is illustrated physically by the water. Baptism also marks a new start: a decision to follow Jesus Christ within the family of the Church.
Whether you are thinking about being baptised yourself, or bringing your child to be baptised, we’d love to talk with you more about this celebration of new life. You might find this document helpful
