Baptisms in the Ouse Valley North Churches

The arrival of a new baby often sparks a desire to celebrate life and give thanks for God’s blessings. It is a wonderful time to celebrate with your loved ones.

When children are baptised their parents tend to be Christians themselves (although not always) and are usually committed to the Church community their child is baptised in. Three godparents will be needed, and they would be expected to have been baptised themselves. They make promises on behalf of your child and welcome them into the Church family, in the hope that the child will continue on the path of being a disciple of Jesus, supported by the Church community.

Both types of baptism are free, and take place during our regular Sunday morning services.

We’d love to help you plan your child’s special service – please contact us if you’d like to know more.

We can also baptise adults; please get in touch if this is something you’d be interested in as it’s a different process to the baptisms offered for children.
