Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is one of the two sacraments recognised by the Church of Scotland, the other being the Sacrament of Holy Communion. When a child is baptised, parents (or other close family members) are asked to confess their own Christian faith and promise to bring their child up in that faith and in the life and worship of the church. The church expects at least one of the parents (or close family member) to be a member of the church or willing to become a member.
When the person being baptised is an adult then they make the appropriate promises.
At Edinburgh Northwest Kirk baptism is normally celebrated during the 9.45 am service at Cramond or the 11.30 am service at Pennywell.
If you are interested in having your child baptised, please be in touch with our Minister, Reverend Julia Cato, on 07706 454148 or at jcato@churchofscotland.org.uk or come along to any of our Sunday services for a chat. You will always be welcome.
