Baptisms

River Stour Baptisms at Canford 

We had a wonderful day at Canford, where five people expressed their faith in Jesus by affirming their baptism by full immersion in the River Stour.  They were (l to r) Scott Colbert, Lisa Ward, Alison Farrell, Sharon Baldwin and Ian Laws. It was a lovely warm day and about 100 family and friends attended with people from the three congregations represented.

Adult Baptism

If you are an adult and would like to be baptised then we would encourage you to enrol on our annual Alpha course. We baptise either in our font at church or by full immersion in the River Stour, next to the church.

Please speak to Matt the vicar to discuss this further.  matt.smith@canfordparish.org

 

Infant Baptism

Are you interested in Baptism at Canford Parish Church?

Great – read on to understand how we approach baptisms at our church:

We believe it is important to try to engage with your local church if at all possible as we believe that coming to baptism is about journeying with the family of God and that the promises made at baptism are a serious commitment to God, and something we would not want anyone to take lightly.

Not sure if baptism is right for you? Why not have a Thanksgiving service?
