Weddings

At Arlington Baptist Church, we provide both a Registrar and a Celebrant to guide you through your Christian wedding ceremony with care and personal attention. Our charming Cotswold stone chapel, set in picturesque surroundings, offers a truly special and peaceful setting for your big day. For your celebration afterward, we also offer the use of the Old Schoolrooms—a fully modernised, internally connected venue that can comfortably accommodate 80 to 100 guests, making it a perfect space for receptions and gatherings.

Please phone or email for a chat or visit us on a Sunday to explore what is available.

Baptismal Services

In the Bible, we’re taught that when someone makes a personal and mature decision to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ—as revealed in the New Testament—they are called to be baptised in water as a symbol of spiritual rebirth and commitment to a new life in Christ. These moments are joyful and deeply meaningful occasions of celebration and faith.

At Arlington Baptist Church, we are blessed to offer baptisms both in our indoor baptismal pool and, uniquely, in the River Coln, which runs through the beautiful Arlington water meadows. We have special permission to use this tranquil, natural setting for baptism—offering a deeply memorable and authentic experience, much like Jesus’ own baptism in the River Jordan.

Naming Ceremony Celebration

We also warmly invite families to celebrate the arrival of a new child through a Naming Ceremony, held during a Sunday service. During this special moment, the child is blessed and welcomed into the church family and wider community with prayer and thanksgiving.

If you are interested in baptism or a naming ceremony, please get in touch with a member of our church team—we’d be delighted to talk with you.
