We offer Baptism to those who are committed to Christ, both adults
and children. Baptismal Policy is available from the Parish Office. For information about Baptism in the Church of England,
visit the official website. |

Confirmation is the next step on from baptism and is for people of
ANY age! It is the opportunity for those who wish to publicly accept their baptismal vows with the laying on of hands by the
Bishop. Confirmation classes are usually arranged according to demand and you may obtain further details from the Rector or
Parish Office. More information on Confirmation can be found of the official Church of England Website |

Christian Marriage is offered to those who wish to involve God in their partnership. All
couples marrying at St Chad's are offered the chance to attend a session of Marriage preparation. This raises, in an informal
way issues of Commitment, Communication and Conflict, and offers some starting points for couples to talk about lasting relationships
and building future lives together. For information about marriage in the Church of England, visit the official website
