Life Events
From welcoming a new life through baptism to celebrating marriage and remembering those we have lost, the Church is here to walk alongside you. At St Paul's Accrington and St John's Baxenden, we offer prayer, pastoral care and Christian worship through life's most significant moments.
Baptism
Baptism is a joyful beginning of a journey of faith. Through water and prayer, we celebrate God's love and welcome people into the life of the Church. Whether you are exploring baptism for your child or considering baptism yourself, we would be pleased to hear from you.
Please contact the parish to discuss your questions and the next steps. Preparation arrangements, service details and any fees will be confirmed with you.
Weddings & Ceremonies
A church wedding is an opportunity to make your promises before God, surrounded by family and friends. At St Paul's Accrington and St John's Baxenden, we would be delighted to discuss the possibility of celebrating your marriage in church and help you understand the next steps.
