Baptisms

Baptism serves as the means through which individuals, typically infants but also adults who were not previously baptised, are formally initiated into the Christian faith and become members of the Anglican community. During the baptismal ceremony, candidates, or their parents and godparents on their behalf, renounce sin and evil and profess faith in God the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. This renunciation and affirmation are central to the liturgy and symbolise a turning away from darkness and a commitment to following the path of Christ.

During the ceremony, water from the baptismal font is poured over the person as a symbol of purification and rebirth. The water represents the cleansing of sin and the spiritual regeneration that comes with accepting Christ into one's life.

Baptisms can be part of a regular service or organised as a private event. Speak with the minister to discuss alternatives, scheduling, and fees.
