Baptisms

Baptism (sometimes called christening) is one of the most joyful of the Christian rites of passage. We celebrate both infant and adult baptism at St Andrew's. Families wishing to have a child baptised are warmly encouraged to get in touch.

Our Vicar will meet with you beforehand to discuss what baptism means and how the service will be conducted.

We can provide confirmation classes for individuals who would like to make a personal and public declaration of their Christian faith, thus confirming the proclamations made at baptism. Please contact us to discuss.
