Making a personal commitment to follow Christ is a special step on our journey of faith.
A service of baptism (otherwise known as a christening), can take place at any age. Those who are old enough, make promises for themselves.
Parents may wish to bring their babies or young children to be baptised. At a service for a child, Godparents make promises on behalf of the child to support parents in bringing up their children within the Christian faith. Because of this, children (or adults) are baptised in their local parish church during a regular
Sunday service so that they can be welcomed into the family of the church.
Those who have been baptised as infants, may make their own commitment at a service of Confirmation led by the Bishop.
