Parents have a choice about holding a Christian-style baptism ceremony or more often in a Unitarian Chapel, a child dedication service for infants, or young children.

The parents may bring their child to the Chapel at a designated time during a regular Sunday worship service or choose a separate occasion for the ceremony. The dedication ceremony is generally a celebration of the blessing of new life, an expression of the parents’ hopes for their child, and a call to the parents and the congregation’s members to lead and nurture the child’s spiritual life as it grows.

Costs

The fee for a naming/baptism is £300.

If no organist is required then this fee can be reduced by £50.

In cases of financial hardship the chapel has the discretion to be able to reduce the fee. Please ask if this applies to you.
