Baptism & Confirmation
Cemetery Tours
Baptism is the start of our faith journey. It is the
sacrament of admission into the church and becoming a
part of God´s family. In both churches we baptise both
infants and adults (adults usually by full immersion).
Baptism takes place during the service and involves the
use of a number of symbols including water, oil and a
lighted candle.
If you would like your child to be baptised or indeed,
wish to be baptised yourself please contact one of the
chaplains. We would love to talk to you further about
this important part of the churches life and answer any
questions.
Confirmation is a special church service in which a
person confirms the promises that were made when
they were baptized. If you were baptized at a
christening when you were a child, your parents and
godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a
young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm
these promises for yourself and commit your life to
following Jesus Christ.
At a confirmation service, you make these promises for
yourself. Your friends and family as well as the local
Christian community will be there to promise to
support and pray for you. The local bishop will lay their
hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give
you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for
the rest of your life.
Please do get in touch with one of the chaplains
contact us if you have any questions or would like to
explore baptism or confirmation further.
