Baptism is an entry into the church family and the body of Christ. Baptism is a free gift of God, an expression of God's grace. There is nothing we can do to earn it.   St John's welcomes families bringing children for baptism as well as young people and adults making their own choice to be baptised. 

Baptisms are conducted during the regular Sunday services, so that the congregation can welcome the newly bapstised and support them in their Christian life. 

Preparation with the Vicar
​The vicar expects to meet with you soon after your initial enquiry to discuss your understanding of baptism and your hopes for the child or yourself. This will be followed by subsequent meetings in preparation for the commitments to be made.
