Baptisms
Baptism is the way in which we welcome children and adults into the Christian faith.
A dedication is a Christian ceremony that dedicates the infant to God and welcomes the baby into the church. During this ceremony, the parents also dedicate themselves to raising the child as a Christian. Dedications are performed where families desire that their child should not be baptized until they are older and can make a conscious choice.
These services are provided free of charge.
Weddings
Our bright and airy worship space seats 150 people on our cushioned wooden pews, and is a lovely venue for weddings, with a fully-equipped kitchen downstairs in our hall. A wedding typically costs $350 for the Minister’s fee and $250 for an organist if required.
Our church hall is a heritage building, and is also available for receptions. Please note due to the special character of our venue, alcohol is only permitted on the premises for toasts.
Funerals
We offer a Christian funeral service, and work with you to modify it to fit your family and to reflect the wishes and personality of your loved one. You and your family will be met with to plan the funeral service and explain the various options that you have to put together a fitting celebration of your loved one’s life.
Immediately following the funeral service refreshments can be served in our lounge (adjacent to the worship space) or downstairs in our hall (suitable for larger gatherings). Catering recommendations can be provided or talk to your Funeral Director.
Funerals for members of our parish are free of charge.
