Throughout life most people will experience important moments such as marking the arrival of a child in the family, a commitment into a relationship or the loss of someone known and loved. Answers to some questions that often arise across Life Events, are available from the different sections below.
Baptisms
Through baptism, you become a member of the Christian church. The Uniting Church baptises both adults who profess the Christian faith, and children whose parents have decided that they want their child to grow up within the Christian community.
Both the parents and the church commit themselves to help the child grow in faith in Jesus Christ.
Baptism is usually symbolised by the pouring of water.
