Christening is always within the usual Sunday service although some churches will do Christenings in a separate service , and thanksgiving can either be in the usual Sunday morning service, or in your own separate service directly after.

Even if the mother is of another religion, she may well agree to have the child baptized. Some churches do not baptize babies at all. Traditionally a Christian child has three godparents in total; girls have two godmothers and one godfather and boys have two godfathers and one godmother.

Those that are not practicing Christians, can have as many or as few as they like, though it is customary to have at least one godfather and one godmother.

Godparents must be baptized themselves , and ideally will be regular members of a church as it is their job to help your child grow in faith. Normally you will choose two godparents the same gender as your child, and one of the opposite gender, but you can have up to a maximum of 5 in total.

We hold regular sessions where you and your godparents will be invited to come along and learn about what Baptism means, and to think about how you will keep the promises you will make. We will stay in touch with you to help you keep those promises. Having your child baptized is a good opportunity to think about your own faith and the faith of your family.
