Baptisms vs Christenings
What is Baptism?
Baptism is all about new beginnings – for a child, the beginning of life; for an adult, the beginning of a new life of faith in Jesus Christ. For children and adults alike, it marks the start of the journey of faith and is the service in which we welcome people into the Church. In Baptism we are thanking God for his gift of life and publicly acknowledging our faith in God.
Is a ‘baptism’ different to a ‘christening’?
There is no difference between a christening service and a baptism service. Some churches will use the word ‘baptism’ and some the word ‘christening’.
If you would like your child to be baptised, get in touch to speak to Reverend Caz.
