Baptisms

When we come for Baptism we are saying “yes” to God’s love and desire for us to belong to the community of God’s people. Children are brought for Baptism in response to God’s loving invitation.

Baptisms are easy to arrange but should be booked with several weeks’ notice.

  • During Sunday services:

    • 8.30 am at St Anne’s Highfields (1st & 3rd Sunday of the month).

    • 10 am at St James’ Toowoomba (2nd & 4th of the month).

  • Private service:

    • by arrangement at St Anne’s Highfields (1st & 3rd Sunday of the month).

    • 12 noon on Sundays at St James Toowoomba (2nd & 4th of the month) .

To book a Baptism and arrange for preparation, please fill out this Baptism Form:

What happens next:

You will be contacted by a minister for an initial discussion, to book the baptism date and time, and to book a preparation meeting at the church with a member of Baptism ministry team.

Candidates for baptism aged 15 or above are usually confirmed at the same time, so adult baptisms are often organised around a Confirmation Service.


CONFIRMATION

A service in which baptised Christians aged 15 or above confirm the promises that were made for them at baptism. 

It is also a way that Christians who come from another tradition might become members of the Anglican Church.

Confirmations may only be conducted by a bishop on his annual parish visit.

Weddings

St Anne's Church is a spacious, open and peaceful setting for any wedding, with comfortable seating, parents room and facilities for food and drink after the service.  Please come in for a look!

Our clergy will usually conduct weddings at St Anne's or another location, or with permission, another minister of religion may be possible at St Anne’s.

Several months notice is required to organise the celebrant, marriage preparation, and service arrangements.  

Funerals

St Anne’s church is available to those of all faiths or no faith for funerals and memorial services. 

There are forms of service available in our Anglican Prayer Book, however it is possible to craft a service that fits individual circumstances.

Just let your funeral director know you wish to arrange a St Anne’s funeral or have our clergy perform a graveside service or service at another location.
