We are delighted that you are considering Christening your child, and would love to be part of this holy and special time with you.

Christening your child will be it's the first step of an amazing journey with God, their parents, godparents, friends, family and the church. You don't have to have been Christened yourself, and you don't have to have been a regular churchgoer. 

Your child is precious to you and precious to God. You want the very best for them, and so does God. You want them to make right choices in life, for themselves and for others.

A Christening is just the beginning of this and so much more.

Over the years to come, it’s a journey you’ll share together with your child by being there for them to talk to about the bigger questions of life – questions about hope, faith and love. These will include praying with them through the ups and downs of their faith journey, showing them practically how to make those good choices in life and helping them to learn more about their Christian faith, through their church and in other ways.

So it’s a commitment to start as you mean to go on!

It is usual to have lots of questions about both the meaning of Christenings and what is involved, and we are here to answer those questions and support you in any way we can.
