Baptism
Baptism means being washed with water, as a dramatic way of a person dying with Jesus, and being raised to new life through the Holy Spirit, as the child of God. Our old way of living is left behind, and we commit ourselves to live for God - we are 'baptised into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit'. Anglicans welcome to baptism people of any age with the intention that they will live the Christian life.
For information on baptism, please contact the minister at your local church. Enter your postcode or suburb in the church search box at the top of this page for details.
