To enquire about arranging a baptism (christening): Throughout the winter months the Church Office is open on Friday evenings 630-730pm by appointment only. Please email telling us which Friday you would like an appointment and we will find a time to suit you. office@christchurchgravesend.com
Baptisms are generally held at 12 or 1pm on a Sunday, although they can also be arranged during the 10 a.m. service on a Sunday morning.
When you visit us we will be able to help you discover whether Christ Church is your parish church and, if necessary, we can help you get in touch with your own parish.
When you visit us you will be invited to a Baptism Preparation session on a Saturday morning between 10am and 10.30pm. This is an opportunity to learn a little more of what baptism is all about .. and after the session you can book a date for the baptism of your baby.
Babies and young children are baptised on the understanding that their parents intend, with the church’s help, to bring them up in the knowledge and love of God. Older children and adults are baptised after a course of preparation and this is normally combined with confirmation. If you are thinking about it, why not contact us and come and talk about it?
