Christenings/ Baptisms
CHRISTENINGS
A Christening ( also known in the church as a baptism) is a joyful occasion for the family and friends of the child and also for the church. It is a time to ask for God's blessing on your child, and its a way of giving thanks to God for the gift of new life. The Christening marks the beginning of your child's journey of faith in the Christian community.
If you live in the Parish of St Mark's Wyke or have a close connection with the church or come regularly to our services of worship, we will be delighted to talk about the possibility of having your child christened.
Please contact the Vicar or the Parish Office in the first instance.

Fees: Baptism Certificate £15. There is no fee for the church service.
BAPTISMS OF ADULTS / OLDER CHILDREN
Adults and older children who are able to make their own decisions about their faith are usually offered Baptism and/or Confirmation. A series of preparation classes are offered to explore the basics of what the Christian Faith is about.
Please contact the Parish Office in the first instance.
