Weddings, Baptisms & Funerals
Adult baptism
Sometimes, seeing someone else baptized, deciding to have your
own child baptized or being asked to be a godparent, can make you
to think about your own journey of faith. If you were not baptized
as a young child, you may be deciding now as an adult or teenager
to make this commitment.
Whatever led you to this point, baptism marks the beginning of a
journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives.

Christenings for children
Everyone is welcome to have their children christened in their
parish church. During the christening service your child will be
baptized and with the support of the church, you and godparents,
your child begins an amazing journey of faith.
All you need to know about planning and going to a Church of
England christening can be found on: churchofenglandchristenings.org.
It also includes information about another church service to say thank you for God for your
baby.
Weddings
Today more than a quarter of all marriages in England between a
man and a woman take place in the traditional setting of a Church
of England church. You're welcome to marry in church whatever your
