Organising a christening – a parent’s guide
During a christening service your child will be baptized with water. It's your child’s first step on an amazing journey of faith with God, you, the godparents, friends, family and the Church.
As a parent, you don't have to have been christened yourself, and you don't have to have been a regular churchgoer. These three pages on the Church of England website will help you think everything through and start planning:-
- Find out more about the meaning of christening
- Read about choosing your child’s godparents
- How to get in touch with your local church, or a different church, for your child’s christening
