Baptism, Weddings & Funerals

Baptism remains a mark of celebration and initiation to many people whether as an acknowledgement of Christian faith or as a tentative step towards deeper understanding. Baptism (or Christening as it is sometimes called) is an exciting step on the journey of faith.

BAPTISM INFO

We love to help couples out as they prepare to exchange some very major and life-long promises.

Weddings can take place in our church or in an appropriate place of your choosing. As ministers of the Anglican Church of Australia we only use an authorised Anglican form of wedding service.

Australian law requires that we, as marriage celebrants, complete certain documents somewhere between 18 months and 1 month prior to the date of the wedding. But we want to talk to you about more than just government documents.

We want to talk to you about the promises you make to each other and to God. We also want to make sure, as much as we can, that your marriage is ’till you are separated by death’. So use the ‘Contact Us’ section of the website and we would be privileged to meet with you.

We provide a tailored church service, ranging from large or to a more intimate gathering where you can farewell loved ones. We consider these services as opportunities to give thanks to God for the lives of loved ones and a time to remember and share precious moments. We are able to conduct funeral services at St. John’s church where we can hold up to 200 people or other locations more suitable to the needs of the family.

We also encourage people to think about their own funeral before the event and are happy to draw up some directions for the funeral service with you.
