Children are the church of today
We believe children are not just the church of tomorrow, they are a meaningful part of the church of today. Families, children, and youth are an integral part of life and worship at St Paul's.
Infants are always welcome, please do not feel embarrassed if your baby cries in a service, though please feel able to step out with them if they need space to calm down. Many families choose to sit at the back where we have toys and colouring supplies, though children are very welcome to sit anywhere.
Young people contribute to worship at our Sunday morning congregations on a regular basis. They take part in presentations, Bible readings, leading the prayers, they serve at the altar ; they create artworks and ideas for our shared worship.
Baptism and Confirmation
We offer Baptism (sometimes called Christening) for babies, children and adults.
If your child would like to be Baptised or confirmed, please let Fr. Simon or the Parish Office know.
More information about Baptism is available on our Baptism page.
Safeguarding
St Paul's works to encourage a safe environment for children and also for adults at risk (previously vulnerable adults) who visit, worship or are employed at St Paul's.
