Baptisms

At St Andrew's we welcome the opportunity to receive and welcome
people into the family of the church — the Body of Christ.

Baptisms (also known as Christenings — "being made like Christ") are held on Sundays:
at the 10 am Holy Eucharist — This service usually takes 1.25 hours and includes Holy Communion (bread & wine). Up to two people may be baptised at this service.
at 12 noon — This is a baptism service lasting only approximately half an hour. Up to 4 people may be baptised at this service.

It is not uncommon for adults as well as children to be baptised during these services.

An application form can be obtained from the Parish Office, and families meet with the vicar prior to a baptism to discuss details and arrangements.

The clergy of the parish conduct baptisms. However other ordained Christian clergy may participate with St Andrew's clergy in such a service after approval has been sought from the Vicar of St Andrew's (and the Bishop if required).

Bookings for baptism may be made through St Andrew's Parish Office:
