Life Events in the Church of England

Whether it is a joyful wedding service, a child's baptism, or the difficult time of bereavement and funerals, the Church of England can be there at many of the major events in your life. You may think that you can only hold a christening, wedding or funeral in your local church if you happen to go there. That's not the case - because we are the national Church, you are welcome to join us for those significant moments in your life.

Find out more information here about the various kinds of life events that we might be involved with. And do contact your local church to find out more. Use the postcode search below to discover which parish you live in - and then you can access contact details for the relevant church:
