Baptisms
Baptism is about following Jesus and making that commitment public.
Here at Christ Church we rejoice with those who choose to be baptised and those bringing their children for baptism.
We love to celebrate family life. We can offer several differnt types of service depending on which you feel is most appropritate for you.
Please get in touch with us to talk about what we can offer.
For FAQs about Godparents and infant baptisms, please see the Church of England website here.
Funerals
The loss of a loved one can be a very difficult time. Holding a funeral in church can be an opportunity to begin to work through what it means, and to receive support at a difficult time.
The first step in organising a funeral is usually to contact a funeral director, who will make all the practical arrangements on your behalf.
If you’d like one of the team at Christ Church to be involved in the funeral service of your loved one, or if you’d like to hold the service here please make that clear to your funeral director at the earliest point.
The Church of England website has some helpful information on funerals.
