A Service of Thanksgiving for an Infant
We believe you and your family matter to God and he wants you as a family to know and put your trust in him. We would love to offer A Service of Thanksgiving for the birth of your child. There's more details about the service below. The aim of the service is to encourage you in your commitment to your child.
A Thanksgiving Service is designed for people who are not members of the church and do not profess a faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In the service we do acknowledge God’s gift of life and seek his blessing on their child and thank him for the birth of your child. Your child is appropriately named in the presence of family, godparents and friends, we pray for God’s blessing on your child as he or she grows up in God's world and we ask for God's guidance in your role as parents. Parents and godparents receive a certificate to remember the special occasion.

Infant Baptism Services
Water baptism is only offered to people who profess faith in Christ and are attending church regularly, and to the children of such believers. The Bible makes clear that regular church attendance is one of the normal expressions of the real Christian life. Therefore, we do not offer baptism to adults, nor their children, who are not attending church regularly. (Likewise, for subsequent children, even if an earlier child was baptised, but the family hasn’t attended regularly since.)
Wanting baptism for your child without going to church, is a bit like asking to wear a Rural Fire Service uniform when you have never been a member of the RFS nor been trained as a member. It would be wrong to say you are an RFS member, if you aren’t actually part of serving in the RFS.

Our ministers are always happy to discuss your child’s Thanksgiving service with you. Please call 02 4885 1210 or Contact Us for an appointment.

Adult Baptism

If you are a new follower of Jesus, or a Christian who has never been baptised, we would love to help you express your faith publicly through baptism.

We offer weddings at both our Robertson and Burrawang centres. These services are Christian wedding services in the Anglican tradition. Please Contact Us for information about weddings and marriage preparation classes, or download our Weddings Brochure here.

Understandably, funerals are always times of great emotion and grief.
Our Anglican service is designed to offer comfort, allowing for an element of thanksgiving and for personal contributions from the family if desired. It also allows us to consider more deeply the Christian faith and the hope that we have in the risen Lord Jesus.
Parish ministers are always on hand to visit and to talk with you about the necessary arrangements
