If you were not baptised as a child then we would be delighted to see you take the step to be baptised as an adult. Sometimes parents do this as they bring their own children to be baptised. An adult baptism is usually immediately followed by the public profession of faith that proceeds a full welcome into the church as one of its members.

Again, there are two questions put to you, the first before the baptism and the second after the baptism.

• Do you, in the presence of this congregation, turn away from sin and ask for God’s forgiveness; seeking a deepening faith in which you will honour God and love other people as yourself? (I do)
• Do you promise, with God’s help, to serve the Lord and to continue to be a part of the family of the Church for the rest of your life? (I do)
