Christian Marriages & Baptisms are conducted by the Rector.

Christian Marriage
Couples are invited to meet with the Parish Priest to discuss their desire for God's blessing within their relationship and marriage.

The ministry of the Church offers pre-marital education and counseling, as well as preparation for the Marriage Service.

The Church buildings are not for hire; however they are a place where couples, their families and friends, can gather to celebrate this special moment within God's love and care.

Baptism
Baptism is a very significant moment in the lives of those who seek this grace.  It is also called Christening, which means 'in Christ".

In Baptism we celebrate and give thanks for the life of a new child of God.

We identify the uniqueness of each child by naming them.

Most of all we initiate through water, the child into the life and death and glory of Christ.

Sometimes parents may choose to have a service of Thanksgiving for the birth of a child, rather than ask for Baptism at this time.

The Parish Priest will be happy to discuss either of these  when you contact us.

"God is love, and those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them"

(I JOHN 4:16)
