FAQ Baptisms

How much does the service cost?

The service is free. It is the welcoming of your child into the family of God through our church family and we couldn’t possibly charge for that!

I live outside of your parish. Can my child still be baptized here?

Although it is usual to have your child baptized in your local church there are often very good reasons why you may want the service at another church. It may be that you worship regularly with us, or that you were married here, or that you have only just moved away. Whatever the reason do contact Beverley and she will help as much as she can.
If you do arrange a baptism outside of your own Parish you will need to get a letter of consent from your local vicar as a matter of courtesy.

One of us is Roman Catholic. Can our child still be baptized in your church?

Yes that is not a problem.

How many Godparents can we have?

This is entirely up to you although we do like you to have more than one. We insist that all Godparents are baptized.

As the parents of the child do we need to be baptized?

Yes you do, If you are not baptized and you would like to be you can join one of our Christian basics courses which lead to Baptism and Confirmation. If you would like to do this please contact one of the clergy team.

How soon do we need to book our baptism service?

You need to book your service as soon as possible. We are limited by time and availability of clergy as to how many baptism services we take each month. It does not matter how young or old is your child, we will try our best to accommodate you!

To book a service or for any other queries please contact Beverley.
