The birth of a child is one of the most wonderful events that happen in a family.

We believe that children are a special gift from God, and a Christening gives the family a time to give thanks, and to welcome the child into the family of God.

At the heart of the Christening service is the Baptism, a significant point where water will be gently poured over the child’s head with the words…

I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Before the Christening Rev’d Mark will need to meet with you a couple of times to go through the service, to consider the promises you will make, to discuss the role of GodParents, and to invite you to attend a couple of our services at St Stephen’s to understand what it means to join the church.
