Baptism
Baptism for babies and children takes place in a service often called a Christening. In this service parents thank God for his gift of life, make a decision to start their child on a journey of faith and godparents promise help and support. The church also promises to welcome the child and to pray for the family.
St James provides a wonderful setting for the occasion. The great font cover is medieval and was once completely gilded. We welcome all to join us within the church.
For your child, being baptized at a Christening marks the start of a lifelong journey of faith as part of the local and worldwide Christian family. If you would like more information please follow the link to the Church of England resources http://www.churchofengland.org/.
