Baptism and Christening are the same; they just have a different name. People usually associate both the terms with babies but baptism of adults is increasingly common in the UK today.

Baptism is a sign of our response to God’s love and our commitment to becoming active followers of Jesus Christ.

For those not so sure about baptism there is an ancient service of thanksgiving or dedication of a child.

To have a baptism you’ll need to:

• Live in the area of Busbridge and Hambledon Church
• Have regularly attended one of the congregations for about 6 months so that you can get a sense of this Christian community

If either of the above apply to you, then the next step is to contact the Church Office. Please call us on 01483 421267.

Baptisms can be held in any of the main morning congregations and at any of the three sites.

We ask that parents join us for two Baptism Preparation evenings for a relaxed evening discussing ideas about baptism.
