Baptism and Thanksgiving

For children

We’re delighted that you’ve enquired about involving God and the Church in celebrating the arrival of your child.

Both baptism and thanksgiving services can happen in the morning service at 10:30am at All Saints and there is no cost for either service.  If you have a lot of guests we can arrange to hold a service at lunchtime on a Sunday, if that’s the case we will always ask that you attend a normal service in the week or two that follows so you and your child can be formally welcomed by the church.

You can find out about the different types of services here: Bap leaflet All Saints

If you have any questions please do get in touch, we are always happy to take the time to talk it through in person.

For older children and adults

Making a public declaration of your faith is a wonderful thing to do.  At All Saints we offer baptism using the font or by full immersion (in a small pool) for those not baptised as babies.  We also offer a re-affirmation of baptism vows which can be done by immersion for those who were baptised as babies. 

This would normally be followed immediately by confirmation – a service where you are formally welcomed as a member of the church and is conducted by one of our local Bishops.

We’d love to talk to you about discovering or growing in faith, get in touch!
