Baptisms

Baptisms at Forest Group URC
Baptism is the beginning of a person’s walk with Jesus. It’s the beginning of a life within a new, wider family: the Christian Church. All of us are pilgrims on the way of life-long learning about our amazing God.

Baptism is an answer to God’s call, either for yourself or for your child, so it can grow alongside you in the faith in Jesus Christ.

A baptism is a moment of great joy and celebration, for the family as well as for the church. A time of thanksgiving to God for the gift of this life and for the gift of love.

By its nature, baptism can only be carried out once, so whatever Christian denomination you were baptised in, your baptism is recognised by all others.

What is needed?
Just enough faith in God and his Son Jesus to put your trust in Him, with a desire to follow and learn more.

Adults and younger people seeking baptism will undertake a time of preparation and teaching. The church minister will advise and help with this.
 
Blessings
Some parents prefer their children to decide themselves later in life, if they want to follow God in Jesus. In this case we are happy to offer a service of blessing. 

If you are interested, please contact the relevant Church Secretaries.
