Baptisms

Baptism marks the beginning of a life shaped by faith, and is a deeply meaningful part of our Anglican tradition. It is a sign of God’s grace, offered to people of all ages, symbolising cleansing, renewal, and entry into the wider Christian community. In the Anglican Church, baptism is typically performed with water and the sign of the cross, affirming a connection to Christ and a commitment to follow in his way.

Baptism may be held during a regular service or on a special occasion, often supported by family, godparents, and the wider church. For infants and children, parents and sponsors make promises on their behalf, while adult candidates affirm their own faith.
