BAPTISM

At the People's Church we believe that baptism is something that Jesus commands those who love him to do -'believe and be baptised'. Baptism in the Bible involved being fully covered in water, symbolic of a grave in which we die to our old lives and become reborn as we're given new life in Jesus. 

​

We love to baptise anyone who loves Jesus and accepts him as Lord and Saviour as long as they are old enough to make that life-long decision for themselves. This also means that we don't baptise infants. 

​

We believe that children are a gift from God and love to celebrate their births through a special dedication or thanksgiving service. These services usually involve thanking God for the child and asking for God's blessing upon their lives. Usually the parents and god-parents will promise to teach and help children to develop and grow in their own relationship with Jesus.
