Baptism and Confirmation

Being baptised or confirmed as an adult is big step to take. It is not just a public declaration of your trust in Jesus, but an opportunity to reflect on what God has done for us in Jesus.

In the ordinary course of events, someone who is Christian is also baptised with water. If you weren't baptised as a child and have become a Christian, it would be great to be baptised! Baptism is a sign of what God has done in our lives in that we are now dead to our old selves and alive to God through Jesus Christ.

Adult Baptism and Confirmation

Adults
Confirmation

Confirmation is a ceremony for baptised believers in Christ to publicly declare their faith in the Lord Jesus. It is an opportunity to reaffirm the promises made at their baptism if they were baptised as an infant. In the Anglican church, the idea is that all believing adults would be confirmed by a bishop.

Confirmation is a service for believers where there is laying on of hands, prayer for God’s blessing and for strengthening by the Holy Spirit. It is an opportunity to commit to a life of faithful discipleship. It is intended for those who have reached an age where they acknowledge their responsibility and desire to live for Christ, to resist temptation, and to serve God throughout their lives.

Infant Baptism

We love to raise our children as Christians who follow Jesus. Infant baptism is an opportunity to make promises on behalf of your child and to pray that they would, in time, commit themselves to following Jesus.

Christian parents are to raise their children as followers of Jesus. The gospel message and all that it means to follow Jesus is for our children as well. We expect our children to listen to the Bible and respond to Jesus as they grow.

Infant baptism isn't a statement of the faith of the child, but a declaration of what God has done for them in Christ Jesus. It is also a time of prayer that the response of faith that the parents make, would in time, be their own response.

“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”

Romans 6:3–4

“Peter replied, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2:38-39
