I Go To An Anglican Church

People who are not sure about the truth of Christianity are welcome to come to our church. Our church members believe and trust in Jesus Christ as their Saviour, Lord and God. We hope that those who come to our church and are still wondering about it will one day trust in Jesus. This has happened lots of times, which means that we always make new friends, and sometimes have adults who decide that they want to commit their life to Jesus, and want to be baptised.

The Anglican Church is often the first place that people go to when they want a wedding or a funeral. People often ask our Vicar to baptise their baby. Babies, children and adults can be baptised in the Anglican Church.

If parents want to have their baby baptised in our church and they are not members, our Vicar asks them to follow a short course. Two members of our church will visit the parents one evening a week for six weeks. We do this so that parents know how important baptism is, and how important it is to bring up their child within the Christian faith.

At some of our services we also share Holy Communion.

As well as meeting on Sunday, our church members can meet during the week in a home. We call these meetings 'homegroups'! Homegroups are places where you can be really honest about your faith - whether you are finding life tough, or finding the Christian faith really exciting. I run a homegroup and we meet on a Thursday evening to talk about the Bible, to pray and help each other.

We also run a course at our church called "Christianity Explained" This is held a couple of times a year in our school hall. People come if they want to know more about Jesus, God, the church and being a Christian. There is a lovely meal served at the start of the course. Our Vicar gives a talk and then we sit and talk about what we have heard. Some of the things we talk about are who Jesus is, why he came, and what a Christian is.
