Ceremonies
Baptisms
Baptism is an important step in the Christian journey for both children and adults. For children, parents thank God for the gift of life, commit to beginning their child’s journey of faith, and ask for the support of the Church family. Adults may also choose to be baptised, including by full immersion, as a sign of being washed clean and beginning a new life with God. Some families prefer a Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication instead of Baptism. Later on, Confirmation offers the opportunity to affirm the faith declared at baptism. If you would like to enquire about baptism at Christ Church Orpington please contact the office on church.admin@ccorpington.org.
Funerals
Funerals are an important part of our ministry, and our leaders meet with families to plan the service and offer support before and after the funeral. Every loss is unique, and grief can bring many different emotions. It’s also normal for a funeral to raise deeper questions about life and death, and our leaders are always available to talk when you’re ready. If you would like to enquire about holding a funeral at Christ Church Orpington please contact the office on church.admin@ccorpington.org.
