Baptism & Dedication Enquiries

 

If you would like to have your child christened/baptised or dedicated at BPC we would love to meet you.

 

ABurtChristening-033

Baptism (or to use a traditional word 'christening') is for those who understand the huge promises that parents and godparents are required to make or for those who are not yet old enough to make these promises for themselves. The baptism promises or vows can be read here.

Here is some helpful information if you are interested.

Dedication is for those who do not feel able to make the baptismal promises but who want to thank God for
the gift of their child and to have the Church pray for them.  This is a popular alternative to baptism where parents are unsure of their faith.

For families that do not regularly attend the Church we like you to meet one of the clergy after a service to discuss what is right for you and/or your child and then to attend an appropriate preparation session (held in Church on a midweek evening).

If you would like to explore either option, please fill in the form below and you will hear back from the church office soon. We really look forward to meeting you soon.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at BP Church for our Sunday Services starting at 9am, 11am or 6pm. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits before the services begin. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

What about my kids?

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected


Connect Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Connect Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. 

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

  • Men's Ministries
  • Women's Ministries
  • Foodbank
  • Choir
