baptism

Baptism

Baptism is the sacrament of beginning the Christian life and we welcome all those who are interested in taking Jesus seriously. The baptism service will usually take place at 11.30 am within the normal Sunday morning service after preparation. If you are interested in baptism either for yourself of for your child please contact us. A short introduction on Baptism can be found here.
confirmation

Confirmation

Confirmation by the Bishop usually takes place once a year after some preparations across the Group. It is a public adult confession of faith in Jesus Christ where promises made at baptism are publicly renewed. People are not usually confirmed before 12 (sixth class) but you can be confirmed later. If you want to know more, please contact us. A short introduction on Confirmation can be found here.
