for any baptism or wedding enquiries at St Peter's Church Darwen

Baptisms

We seek to love and support parents and their children from their earliest days right through to adulthood.

For many people this begins with a special church service, known as a Baptism. These services are, of course, primarily acts of Christian worship. But they are also offer an opportunity for your family and friends to gather together and join you in celebrating the precious gift of your child.

There is no right or wrong age for a service of baptism, and we welcome children and people of any age to be baptised at St. Peter's.

Baptisms at St. Peter's typically take place on the second and fourth Sundays of a month, after the main service.

We can seat up to 200 people, and are an accessible church with an access ramp and an induction hearing loop.

To arrange a baptism at St. Peter's please contact us to arrange a mutually convenient time for you to meet.

Weddings

You’re Welcome Here for a wedding.

Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage!

St Peter's loves to help people celebrate and few celebrations are bigger than a wedding. 

We would be delighted for you to choose St. Peter's to hold your ceremony.

We are blessed to have a beautiful Grade 2 listed building, which can add an amazing historical dimension to your special day.

If you choose to marry in church, we want it to be a day that is personal to you and our clergy will happily work with you to ensure that the church and ceremony reflect you as a couple. With the help of our clergy, you can makes choices about your hymns and music, readings and what sort of prayers you would like. It’s up to you what you wear and whether you have one ring or two. If the church and the Vicar are free, you can marry on any day of the week. And with the Vicar’s help, you can make choices about what type of words are used in the service.

St. Peter's can comfortably seat up to 230, and we will endeavour to help you to get married at a time and on a date that suits you.

We are an accessible church, with an access ramp and an Induction Loop.

In addition to helping to arrange your actual wedding ceremony, our clergy are also happy to give you guidance and support as you move towards starting married life together.
