Baptism

Babies, children and adults are all welcome at
St Barnabas for baptism.

A time of celebration

Baptism is about believing and belonging. Please make contact if you would like to find out more about baptism.

Baptisms at St Barnabas

Normally, we offer baptisms at 12 noon on the 3rd Sunday of every month with no more than two baptism families per Service. We will invite you to come along to one of our 10am Services shortly afterwards so that you can receive your Baptism Candle and be welcomed into the Church Family. Sometimes, we offer baptism as part of the 10am Service.
