“When someone is baptised, that person is brought to Jesus Christ, and made a member of Christ’s Church. It is a new start to life in which the baptised person is accepted and sealed by God with the Holy Spirit to represent Christ to the world.
As a response to the baptism which God gives us, we and the candidates declare our faith and intention to serve Christ, and ask for God’s continuing grace to support us in the task to which we are called.
When a baptism is of a baby or a child, the baptised receives the love and shared faith of the family to grow up into Christ.”
(A New Zealand Prayer Book, p 379)
We welcome all baptismal enquiries. Please email or catch up with us at church to find out more.
