We are delighted that you are thinking about what the Bible calls baptism (often called “christening” in England, from the sign of the cross that is made on the child’s forehead, a sign of our prayer that the child’s life might become like that of Jesus Christ).

​

We see baptism as something that was given by Jesus Christ for all who want to follow him.

In the Church of England we baptise both children and adults. We do baptism by the pouring of water and also by full immersion.

This page is for parents who are thinking about having their children baptised. However, if you are an adult and have never been baptised but call yourself a Christian, we’d be delighted to talk with you and arrange for your baptism.

 

If you have questions about this, then we’d be delighted to talk with you about it.

Please do get in touch by phoning the Benefice Adminstrator, Anne Smith on 01256 880327 or emailing her at admin@stjamesbramley.org.uk in order to discuss or alternatively complete the form on our contact page and we will be in touch.
