Baptisms (Christenings)

Baptism is a wonderful celebration of new life through which we welcome people into the Christian faith. Promises are made by parents and godparents on behalf of their children. Adults commit themselves to be members of the church family.  Anyone who lives in our parish or has a strong connection with our church is entitled to be baptised at Holy Trinity.

Baptisms at Holy Trinity usually take place in a special service at 1pm on Sunday.  Details of what it's about and what is involved can be found in the our information leaflet (on the right).  You might also like to look at the Church of England's Christening website (for infants) or visit their pages on adult baptism.

If you are interesting in arranging a baptism at Holy Trinity, for yourself or your child, the first step is to contact the Vicar, Mother Katy.  She will arrange a time to meet with you to talk it all through, look at dates and fill in the necessary paperwork.
