Infant / Preschool Baptism
Dear Parent,
“Congratulations and welcome to the family of God - the Church.”
This sentiment is at the heart of the baptism of your child. In the celebration of Baptism, we use different symbols, prayers and readings to emphasise that your child is being welcomed and initiated into the Christian life. As one writer said, Baptism is like the entrance gate or foundation of the Christian life.
Life’s a journey, so too the Christian life. Presenting your child for Baptism, you are saying that you want your child to be part of the Christian journey which is to have the opportunity to know and love Jesus Christ, to follow His teachings and be part of the Church. Committing to the Christian life is, at times, not easy, but we have Jesus’ word that it is well worthwhile.
Primary School-Aged Children Baptism
We are delighted to be with parents in this stage of their child’s faith journey. To assist them, we have developed a program that will give insight into the challenge and privilege of being part of the worshipping church.
