Our Vision as a faith community

Baptism

 

Baptism can happen at any age.

 

Teenagers and adults are baptised after a period of teaching, formation and reflection about the Christian faith and what joining the Church involves.

 

 

 

 … How do we know God? Why is Jesus’ death important?

What is the purpose of life? What is Christian discipleship?

 Why do people die? What happens after death?  

 

 

If you are not baptised and have questions about the Christian faith and want to explore the possibility of Baptism and confirmation come and join us at worship or contact one of our clergy. 

 

 

I'm not a regular churchgoer. Can I still have my child baptised?

 

Yes. The Church believes that God's love is available to all, regardless of their background. We would be pleased to talk to you about the baptism of your child. You will be given a colourful booklet called “your baby’s Baptism”. Topics covered include:

  • Why baptism?
  • Before the baptism
  • Questions people ask
  • The signs and symbols of baptism
  • The baptism service
  • You and God
  • Helping your child to grow in Christian life
  • Looking forward to Confirmation

 

We hope your baby's baptism will be a wonderful and memorable occasion and that it will mark the beginning of a long and happy association with St John’s.  Please contact our parish office for further details.
