We would love to talk with you about celebrating the birth of your child with us. We offer two different services as we recognise that each family is in a unique place with regards to their faith.

Who to contact: Please contact the Church office at admin@ssaparish.org

Thanksgiving for children

Our thanksgiving service is a simple ceremony, either within one of our services or at a separate ceremony, where we give thanks to God for the birth of your child. You can choose which prayers and promises you'd like to make on behalf of your child and our experienced ministry team will help you think about what's important for you.

Baptism for children

During a christening your child will be baptized with water. It’s the start of an amazing journey of faith for your child and a special day for all your friends and family. Parents and godparents make commitments to pray for and help a child as they learn to be a follower of Jesus. It is also a welcome into the family of God and so typically takes place during our Sunday morning services with the local church family present.

Baptism for adults

If you've not been baptised as a child, we'd love to talk with you about following Jesus and being baptised as an adult. Baptism is such a special gift and being baptised as an adult is a really significant step of faith. Our ministry team will talk with you about what's involved, do get in touch.
