Thinking of baptism?
Baptism/Christening
You will hear it called baptism or Christening. It's the same thing! The church calls the ceremony baptism but it is also commonly known as Christening as we are making a commitment to Jesus Christ and marking our place in his family.
How do I book?
The good news is that we are able to baptize you or your family members
All queries or concerns can be answered now by emailing : northwearsideparish@gmail.com or by phoning the team vicar, Jennifer Bradshaw 07443228077. Or you can use this form to book

What will it cost?
Nothing! There is no charge for baptism.
