Baptism Marriage Funeral

Baptisms

Parents wishing to have a child baptized should approach the Minister at the earliest opportunity. The Minister will be able to explain what's involved. This may involve, in some cases, parents being willing to undertake a number of instruction sessions.

Weddings

Marriage preparation is provided at a local level by the Circuit Ministers. The best route is to start making links with the Minister likely to conduct the wedding. A couple wishing to get married should approach the Methodist Minister of the church at which they wish to be married. This would normally have to be in the civil registration district in which they live.

Funerals

Christians believe that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ give them hope and cause for thanksgiving in the face of death. In this faith we entrust those who have died to the infinite mercy and love of God. A Methodist funeral service acknowledges this hope and offers bereaved people the opportunity to remember their loved one’s life and offer them into God’s care. If you would like a funeral to involve the church and a local Minister it is a good idea to find out if they are available before booking the time and date of the service.
