The members of Wigan Baptist Church    

invite you to walk with them on the Christian Journey:

People come into contact with this church in a variety of ways. Whether you already have a link with us, or you are just trying to make contact as a person new to the area, we look forward to welcoming you as we walk the journey of life together, seeking to live following Jesus.    

Birth and dedication - we welcome families who want to dedicate their baby to God in a simple service, where both parents/family and the congregation / membership of the church also dedicate themselves to the upbringing of the child in the knowledge and love of God, and Jesus as the child's friend and Saviour.

Baptism – as a Baptist Church we practise believer's baptism by immersion, on profession of faith. This means the candidate must be old enough to have made a considered decision to follow Jesus as Saviour and Lord.  Baptism is an outward witness to something which has already taken place in the person's life.

Church membership – it is usual for Baptism to be followed by Church membership, as a committed Christian should also express that new life through sharing in a community of God's people.  We also accept people into membership, who have been baptised and confirmed in other denominations, on profession of faith.

Communion - we welcome all who love Jesus to share communion with us.

Marriage – we welcome those couples who wish to marry and to mark this occasion through a service in the sight of God. Couples interested in using the church for this purpose would meet with one of the ministers to go through a series of classes about Christian Marriage.

Funerals – we mark lives passing by meaningful and personalised funerals, offering comfort and support to the bereaved.
