St James' is a church where Jesus is central,

the Bible is our guide and every person is important


Baptism




Baptism (or Christening) marks the start of the Christian journey.  Some of us are baptised as children, others choose for themselves, but whatever the timing anyone is welcome.  There is no age limit.


Baptism reminds us of what Jesus has already done.

The Christian faith is centred on Jesus -

  • his life and teaching
  • his death and resurrection
  • his gift of life and the Holy Spirit (his very breath).


Baptism doesn't depend on passing a test, or earning a reward - it is pure acceptance, saying "Yes" to God. 


If this is something you would like to talk about for yourself or for your children - we would love to see you.


Some parents prefer to wait, and let their child decide for themselves, and in that case we can offer a Service of Thanksgiving.


If saying "Yes" to Jesus sounds good to you - please do contact Bishop Steve - frbenford@gmail.com


(If it all sounds a bit puzzling - you can still contact him and ask anything - there are no silly questions!)


NB: We will need to meet up before we can fix a date for the service.


(There is no charge for a baptism service!)
