Christenings, Weddings & Funerals
From joyful beginnings to moments of remembrance, King Charles the Martyr welcomes you at life's most meaningful occasions. Our church offers a place of faith, warmth and support for you and your family.
Baptisms & Christenings
A celebration of faith, belonging and new beginnings.
Baptism, also known as a Christening, marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with God.
It is a joyful occasion for the person being baptised, their family, godparents and the wider church community.
During the service, we celebrate God's love, make promises of faith and welcome a new member into the Christian family.
Baptism services usually take place at 12 noon on the first Sunday of each month.
Whether you are considering baptism for your child or yourself, we would be delighted to hear from you and discuss the next steps.
