At Selsdon Baptist Church we hope to be available to our members, friends and community
at major lifetime events, whether times of celebration and joy or times of great
stress. Follow the links on this page to more details about the different ways we
help.

At a time of loss, we want to be ready to support and help you. If you need any help
at all, please get in touch with our minister, Mike Elcome. The link on the left

As a Baptist Church we do not baptise or christen babies or small children, as we
believe baptism is a part of an individuals personal commitment to Christ.
However, we welcome any parents who want to bring their child to church to say 'thank
you' to God, to pray for the child and to ask for God's blessing and help for them
as parents in their task of bringing up their family.

We operate a pastoral care network, which tries to ensure that everyone in the congregation
is linked into a support network of caring Christians should the need arise.
Marriage
The church is described in the Bible as “the bride of Christ”, so marriage is an
especially important ‘life event’ for us.
