Baptism Services

Christening (or baptism) is the first step on a journey of faith that lasts a lifetime. It is about believing and belonging and it is a very public and outward expression of the gift of God’s grace.

At St James you can be christened (baptised) as a baby or child. We also offer baptism for young people and adults who have not been baptised as infants but want to make a public statement about their own faith in Jesus.

For young people or adults who have been baptised you may want to consider Confirmation or a reaffirmation of your baptismal promises.

If you are looking to have a thanksgiving service for your new baby/child then we can arrange that for you too.

To help you in your decision visit Church of England Christenings and Church of England Thanksgiving Services for more information including FAQs, requirements for christenings, information for parents/godparents and how to continue on this amazing faith journey.

In any case we’d love to meet with you and help you to prepare to take this important step, so please come along to a service at St James in the first instance.

Getting Married at St James

You are able to get married in St James’ Church whether or not you are a member of the church community.One of you will need to have at least one of the following connections to the church:

you live in the parish (you can check your parish by entering your postcode on the ‘A Church Near You’ website
you worship regularly as part of this church
you have a ‘qualifying connection’ by which you can be married at the church, as described on the Your Church Wedding website.

Making a Booking

When you’re ready please do get in touch with us to discuss the next steps. You can phone the Parish Office on 02476 344553 or email office@stjamesweddington.org.uk and we will check that you are in a position to make a booking.

We will then need you to complete some provisional paperwork and we’ll meet up with you. We also give couples a helpful booklet to guide you through your preparations and answer some of the frequently asked questions.

Costs

Generally speaking the church costs are the smallest part of a wedding budget! The fees increase a little each year and vary according to your specific requirements. In 2024 it costs £585 to marry in your local parish church. That includes the cost of the vicar, the church, publishing your banns, your marriage document, the marriage preparation and rehearsal, the lighting of the building and all the administration costs.

There are a few optional extras - heating the building, a verger, a pianist, etc.which we will explain more about when you get in touch.

Wedding Blessing Services

We can also arrange a Wedding Blessing Service at St James for those couples who have had/or are planning a civil wedding who would like to dedicate their marriage to God in church soon afterwards.For further information please contact the Parish Office on 02476 344553 or email office@stjamesweddington.org.uk
