Baptism is the Christian initiation service where new members of the body of Jesus Christ are welcomed into the church. This baptism is recognised across different Christian traditions.
In the Anglican tradition we welcome infant baptism and adult baptism. Teens are welcome as well ! ;-)
For more information or inquiries please contact us.
From the Anglican Prayer Book Service introduction, baptism is described like this:
"When someone is baptised, that person is brought to Jesus Christ, and made a member of Christ's Church. It is a new start to life in which the baptised person is accepted and sealed by God with the Holy Spirit to represent Christ to the world.
"As a response to the baptism which God gives us, we and the candidates declare our faith and intention to serve Christ, and ask for God's continuing grace to support us in the task to which we are called.
"When a baptism is of a baby or a child, the baptised receives the love and shared faith of the family to grow up into Christ.
"Through prayer and fellowship within the body of Christ God strengthens and nourishes us."
