Baptism, Weddings and Funerals


Baptism
At any age, baptism is an important part of your faith and we’d love to welcome you or your child into the Christian community and God’s church through baptism.
Baptisms generally take place as part of a Sunday worship service because when you are baptised you are being connected to God’s church. As Lutherans, we believe baptism is a sacrament, where God comes to us, welcomes us, forgives us and invites us to join him with others for a lifetime of growing in faith.
To prepare for baptism contact Pastor Richard 02 9331 1822 or pastor@stpaulssydney.org
