Baptisms
We are delighted you’re thinking of baptism for your child. Your child is precious to you and precious to God. At baptism you promise to raise your child to know God loves them, and to help them to follow Jesus as a member of the Church.
If you are considering baptising your child at St Johns, and you are not already a regular attender at the church, we encourage you to come and join us in some of our weekly services. The initial point of contact for baptism enquiries is the Benefice Office on 0117 9586412 or administrator@kingswaybenefice.org. Most of our baptisms take place as part of our main Sunday morning services at 10.30 am on the 3rd or 4th Sunday of the month.

For such a special day, we offer a special place. There are some great things about marrying in church that you might like to know. All you need to help you plan a personal, meaningful, spiritual and beautiful church wedding can be found on the Church of England’s weddings web site: www.yourchurchwedding.org
