Baptism

MARKING THE START OF LIFE.

The Methodist Church holds that all people are special to God.

All are loved by God and therefore have value, dignity and worth.

In a Baptism service, we create an opportunity for a child or adult to be welcomed into a family and a community.

We recognise the love and grace of God to all right from the start.

We commit ourselves as parents, families, friends, as God Parents and as a Church family to support this precious life.

We pray for God's blessing upon them and their families & all who will be involved in the child’s upbringing and nurture.

We also offer Services of Thanksgiving, for those who do not want to have their children baptised, allowing them to make their own decisions when they are older.

Normally, there is no charge for a baptism or thanksgiving service but an opportunity to make a donation to the host church will be made available.
