Baptism & Confirmation
The Chaplains are always willing to help members of the King's community to take the next step on their journey of faith and prepare people for Baptism.
If you have links to King's and would like to be baptized, or have your child/ren baptized, or take steps to be confirmed in one of our confirmation services, please contact us.
Adult Baptism
The Chaplains are happy to arrange a baptism service for students and staff who were not baptised as children and now feel that this would be an appropriate expression of their faith.
Infant and Child Baptism
The Chaplains are pleased to meet with those who have links to King's and are parents of babies and young children to discuss baptism (sometimes called Christening).
If you do not feel baptism is appropriate at this stage, we are very happy to discuss a service of Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child with you.
Confirmation
Each year, the Chaplaincy celebrates both Anglican and Roman Catholic Confirmation Services of staff and students in the College Chapels. if you would like to be confirmed, please speak to one of the Chaplains.
When someone is baptised as an infant promises are made on their behalf by their parents and godparents.
At Confirmation, that person makes those promises personally because they feel the time is right to take this next step in their Christian journey.
They make these promises before a Bishop who prays for them and anoints them with oil as a sign of God's gift to them of his Holy Spirit.
