Baptism
The Church of England offers baptism for all age groups, including babies, children and adults.
We would be delighted to help you explore this opportunity for baptism.

Baptism of Adults
We believe that it is particularly special when adults decide to be baptised.
As adults, we expect candidates to take responsibility for their own decision to be baptised. This is reflected in the order of service
The Church of England has uploaded some stories about adults getting baptised. You can connect to these via the adjacent box.
People can be baptised at any age. Like the student in the video, God tends to call us at significant events in our life.
What is Confirmation ?
Some adults also feel prompted to take further an earlier baptism commitment – sometimes made much earlier in their life. This opportunity is Confirmation. Confirmation provides an opportunity to look more deeply into the Christian faith.
If you want to talk to someone informally about this, contact Margaret or Jeremy.
(Sometimes called Christenings)
So, take the plunge and get baptised
The first step on the journey is for you to contact either Revd Jeremy Brading or Revd Margaret Preuss-Higham – spending which of the Chesil Churches you are hoping to be baptised at.
When you have done that, they will probably invite you to one of the church services. there your new church family can get to know you.
Thats it !
We look forward to welcoming you to one of the churches.
Please note: The dates of and times of baptisms must be confirmed in writing by either of the clergy below, before the baptisms can be considered to have been ‘booked’.
