Baptisms 

Baptism services at The Westhill Community Church are some of the most exciting times in the life of the church!  They are times of celebration as we thank God for the new life he gives us in Jesus Christ.

For infants our Baptism Services take place on a Sunday in the Sanctuary.
For teenagers and adults we hold our baptisms in the River Dee in the summer or the local swimming pool.
We baptise adults who find faith in Jesus Christ, and also children of believing families.



When baptising infants, parents normally appoint Godparents whose main role is to pray that their Godchild will grow up following Jesus. 
Special promises are made at baptism - words of commitment to Jesus Christ and his church.

If you would like to know more then please contact The Church Office on 01224 740291, or email: office@westhillcommunitychurch.org

If you would like to request baptism, please download and complete this application form and return the signed form to the Church Office.

Weddings 

The Westhill Community Church is a lovely setting in which to get married.

To be married in the church we hope that you are or wish to become a regular worshipper with us, especially if you live in the area or have a family connection. If you are planning a reception afterwards, make sure you book the church first.

Our rector will help you with all initial and administrative planning and will also liaise with you about the content of the service, will guide you through the service and be praying for you.

We also require you to attend a five week course where we explore the Christian understanding of marriage, look at managing our finances and building a strong relationship for life.

For all initial enquiries - including dates, costs, etc - please contact The Church Office on 01224 740291, or email: office@westhillcommunitychurch.org

Funerals

A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

Arranging a Funeral Service

Some people find planning the funeral with family and friends helps in their grieving. Perhaps you already know something of what your loved one wanted. You may even have planned the service together some time ago.

If you are uncertain our rector who will lead the service can help you choose suitable readings, hymns and prayers. If they did not know your loved one well, they will want to talk with you to build up a picture of the person's life, this may take only one meeting but sometimes it can be more.

Some deaths will be especially traumatic, distressing or unexpected. The Church has special funerals for children, or after sudden or violent deaths, including suicide. Please talk to our rector about what is possible.

Please contact The Church Office on 01224 740291, or email, office@westhillcommunitychurch.org, for further information 
or to arrange a visit from our Rector.


Jesus said to his disciples: 'Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.' Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?' Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 
John 14 v 1-6
