Ceremonies

St Nicholas' is available for baptisms, weddings and funerals:

Christenings

We have two forms of service celebrating babies and young children and asking for God's blessing them, sometimes called Christening. Both take place within a main Sunday gathering at 10.45am of the whole church. You might like to invite family and friends for either of these services:

1. Thanksgiving - we thank God for the gift of this new life
2. Baptism - parents and godparents make definite promises of Christian faith on behalf of the child, to bring them up within the family of the church to trust and follow the Lord Jesus.

Adults who want to follow Jesus and haven’t already been baptised should also come for baptism. If you want to join this church we can have a baptism either by pouring water (as with infants) or by immersion.

Contact the Office to discuss which is more appropriate for you.

Weddings

Planning to get married? Congratulations!

We are delighted to have couples coming to get married in our lovely church. There are some legal requirements that have to be fulfilled before we can agree to a wedding, and we will provide marriage preparation sessions before the big day. To enquire about a wedding at St Nicholas' either come to a service and introduce yourselves, or contact the Office and someone will get back to you.

Funerals

If you're thinking about a funeral, we want to help you at this difficult time.

Residents of the parish are eligible for burial in the churchyard or we can bury ashes following a church or crematorium funeral with cremation.

Please contact the Office directly if you have questions - or your Funeral Directors can book a date with us and we will call you straight away.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

St Nicholas’ Bathampton is a church family to which all are welcome. We meet together to help us to get to know Jesus better, enjoy friendship with each other, and reach out in service to our community. We want to encourage each other to live radically transformed lives of faith and love.

You're very welcome to join us at any of our services. St Nicholas’ meets at the parish church by the canal bridge for our Sunday Service starting at 10:45am. Coffee is served after the service. Junior Church on Sunday is for school-aged children from 4-14 years old. We spend the first 15-20 minutes in church with the adults before going to our groups for about 40 minutes.

The church is also open everyday from 10 am to 3 pm except Mondays and Saturdays for visitors to the Arthur Phillip display and for prayer. Please do contact our church administrator for a special visit on office@stnicholasbathampton.org.uk.

Please do take a look at our Visitor Information Leaflet.

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have two groups that meet on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Check out Home Groups to find out more, or we can put you in touch with a home group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
