We ask you to begin to attend the Church at least six months prior to the baptism. To have a baby baptised in the Church of England, s/he must be resident in the Parish to which the Church belongs, or permission must be sought from the Parish priest of the Church in which the child is resident if the parent(s) are not already regular members of that Church.

In recent years at St John's we have seen many people becoming Christians in later life who have never been baptised as babies or children.
Due to the need we have purchased a baptism 'pool' and have been holding baptisms about twice a year as part of the monthly praise service at 6.30pm on the first Sunday of each month.
Baptism is a public declaration of your faith in Jesus and is something Jesus did and got his disciples to do.
If you have recently become a Christian and want to be baptised, please contact the Vicar (Rev. Adam Foot) via the church office - details as above.
