Baptism

Christening party

Baptism is one of the two sacraments recognised by the Church of Scotland, the other being the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

In the case of infant baptism the Church expects at least one parent either to be a member of the Church or willing to become a member. In the baptismal service the parent or parents profess their own faith and promise to give their child a Christian upbringing.

Another Christening Party

In the case of adult baptism the person himself or herself makes the appropriate promises.

Baptism is normally administered at Sunday worship in front of the congregation. This emphasises the nature of the sacrament as incorporation into the body of Christ and the life of the Church.

If you are enquiring about a baptism please contact the minister after morning worship or by .
