Baptism (Child) • Lower Mountains Anglican Parish

Are you looking to baptise your child?

Thank you for enquiring about having your child baptised. We love doing baptisms. Baptism is a statement of faith in Jesus Christ-verbally (in what is promised) and visually (by the splashing of water).

We baptise to encourage one another in faith, not faith in the 'sacrament', but faith in God's promises to us. It is a long-standing Christian custom which any person who professes faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and has at least a basic understanding of the Christian faith can take part in. In the case of children, it is the parents and godparents who express this faith on behalf of the child.
