Life Events

We want to mark with you the significant times in your life and the lives of your loved ones. 

Whether it’s holding a baptism or thanksgiving service when a child is born, conducting a marriage service or supporting you when a loved one passes away we would be pleased to hear from you.

For enquiries about baptisms, thanksgivings, weddings or funerals please contact Rev. Phil Arnold on 0113 808 0345 or phil.arnold@christchurcharmley.org.uk.

We have included some links below to the Church of England’s guides to each of these life events.

Parents’ Guide to Christenings

The first step of an amazing journey with God, parents, godparents, friends, family and the church.

Adult Baptism

You are never too old to take this step, and being baptized as an adult is a wonderful experience.

Thanksgiving Service

A special church service, different from a christening, can be used as a way to say thank you to God for your child.

Funerals Step by Step

If someone you know and love has died, a funeral led by a Church of England minister can be held in church, in a churchyard, by a graveside or at a crematorium. The minister will be there to support you every step of the way.
