Thinking of baptism?

Baptism/Christening

You will hear it called baptism or Christening. It's the same thing! The church calls the ceremony baptism (from the Greek word to dip). Christening  reminds us we are making a commitment to Jesus Christ and marking our place in his family.

How do I book?


We are now booking all baptisms on a Friday morning at 10.00 - 11.30am (or a bit after) during the regular toddler group.


Although there is no legal limit to the numbers who can gather  we are only going to accept one family per service and we advise that you keep your number of guests to a reasonable number (around 50) until the number of Covid infections fall.

 Dates for 2022 are booking very quickly.

What will it cost?

Nothing! There is no charge for baptism. There will be an opportunity at the service to give to Winter Warmer - a hot meal on a Tuesday evening from Nov - March and the work of Centrepoint Sunderland. If you'd like to make a donation specifically to the work of the church it will be gratefully received we can accept cash and card payments. You can give to our  build up Holy Trinity campaign through this website too. As with all organisations we are grateful for all financial aid!
