Baptism
Jesus gave his disciples the great commission, to go into the world and to baptise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. So we simply follow that command. All are welcome to come for Baptism. Generally people are baptised at 12.30pm on Sundays, in a casual, 20 to 30 minute service. read more
Naming Service
A naming service is not a baptism, but instead gives thanks for the child, the gift of new life, and the blessing of a new member of the family. Often, those who are unsure of baptism or do not have a religious identity will choose a naming service. read more
Funerals
Regardless of background, everyone who seeks a funeral service will be accepted. The practical details are usually organised through a funeral director, but we do encourage families to contact the church with any questions and issues, or for spiritual care. It is our desire that every funeral service is meaningful and meets the family’s needs. read more
