Congratulations on considering Christening for your child or baby, it is one of the most important decisions which you can take, either for yourself or for a child.

We would be delighted to help as you consider christening and you can be assured of a welcome from the church.

There is no fee for a service of christening.

Please get in touch with Reverend Samantha Chandler so that we can help you make arrangements.

Why do we Christen babies?

•     Christening is a chance for all the family to get together, celebrate and thank God for the new life which he has given.
•     It is a time when we remember that as well as being a member of a human family your baby is a part of God’s family too, the family of the Church.
•     It is a time when your child is given their special Christian name.
•     It is sacrament, that means an outward and visible sign of God's love
