Baptisms
If you are interested in the sacrament of Baptism for your child or for yourself, please contact our church office.
Baptism services are organized on special days throughout the Christian year, we will be able to let you know the next scheduled baptism service when you make your initial enquiry. Sponsors should be baptized adults of any Christian community. Sponsors are also given the responsibility to encourage the candidate in the Christian faith. Candidates and/or sponsors are required to undertake a Baptism preparation course and will be encouraged to attend some services at St John’s so that a relationship between the church and the candidate/sponsors can be formed.
Alternatively, the church also offers a service of Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child. This is a short but very meaningful service, with no formal preparation or vows required. This service provides an opportunity for family and friends to give thanks for the gift of a new child and to pray for his/her well being. Whether you are looking at Baptism, or a Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child, we would welcome your enquiry and look forward to exploring these options with you further.
