<description><![CDATA[<p>At St Lukes, we believe that Baptism is a sign of God&rsquo;s covenant to us. It is a visible sign of God&rsquo;s grace to us. Baptism signifies belonging in God&rsquo;s holy Church.</p>
<h5>Infant baptism</h5>
<p>Baptism of your child (often called a Christening) signifies the inclusion of the child into the church, and the commitment of parents to raise their child in the Christian faith. If you want to have your child baptised, <a href="/639/Contact-Us">please get in touch</a>. One of our team will then meet with you to discuss the meaning of baptism and what it means for you family, as well as all the logistics.&nbsp;</p>
<h5>Believer&rsquo;s baptism</h5>
<p>Baptism of a young person or adult is an expression of personal faith and commitment to following Jesus. If you would like to discuss being baptised at St Luke&rsquo;s, please do <a href="/639/Contact-Us">get in touch</a>. We will meet with you to explore to significance of baptism and your faith journey.</p>]]></description>
