What we Offer
Baptisms
Baptism is one of the two outward signs of God's love for us that Jesus told us to do. Baptism is by water and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Baptism is about entry into the life of the community of faith and entry into the story of faith. Baptism can be administered as an infant, confession made by parents or godparents, or as an adult, confessions made by themselves. Baptism is normally administered during a church service whent the community of faith is gathered.
Weddings
Marriage is the relationship you have with your partner. In the Anglican church this relationship is between a man and a woman. The wedding is the service where those promises and vows about that relationship are made between the couple in the presence of others. Preparation for marriage and the wedding are a part of this, helping you to identify the strengths and growth areas of your relationship.

Prepare/Enrich is a programme to aid you in preparing for life's transistions including, marriage, retirment, adding a family member, changing jobs, retirement, moving to a new location, for the purpose of checking in on the strengths of your reationship and things that you need to be aware, or simply as a programme to strengthen your relationship.
