Baptism

Welcoming into the church

Baptism is one of the two sacraments recognised by the Church of Scotland, the other being the Sacrament of Holy Communion. When a child is baptised, parents (or other close family members) are asked to confess their own Christian faith and promise to bring their child up in that faith and in the life and worship of the church. The church expects at least one of the parents (or close family member) to be a member of the church or willing to become a member.

When the person being baptised is an adult then they make the appropriate promises.

Baptisms are performed during Sunday worship. During the service, adults profess their faith and promise to raise the child in the Christian faith. Please contact the minister to discuss the service and arrange a date.

If you are interested in having your child baptised, please come to a Sunday service and speak our minister at the close of the service and they will be glad to help you.

There are no fees for baptism.
