Getting Married at St Swithun's

St Swithun's charming exterior and intimate interior has made it a favourite venue for weddings.

Just as importantly, the experienced ministry team and office staff work very hard to ensure all our weddings are meaningful and happy celebrations. We're very pleased to have married hundreds of couples over the years.

Of course, marriage is much more than just the 'big day'. We want to do everything we can to support couples who are preparing for it because we firmly believe marriage is a crucially important life-long commitment.

Our friendly office staff are more than happy to answer any queries and guide you on how to proceed to the next step. Please phone us on 9488 7377 or email at office@swiz.org.au

We wish you every blessing in all your wedding plans.

Baptism has been the symbol of Christian initiation since the first century

It is a simple ceremony of washing someone with or in water and marks a person, young or old, as belonging to Christ and living in his forgiveness and peace. Common to all Christians, it is the sign of belonging to God’s people, the Church, and powerfully symbolises the promises of God fulfilled on our behalf in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We believe being baptised is a very important step in life and so at St Swithun’s we require those seeking to be baptised (parents in the case of an infant) first meet with a member of the ministry team to talk through the implications of the Christian faith. This means there is often some lead time between booking a baptism and the service itself.

Baptisms are usually conducted at St Swithun’s by one of the ministry team on selected Sundays at 11:30am.

The death of a loved family member or friend is always a time of real sadness and grief, no matter how young or old the person was.

A Christian funeral is an opportunity to gather family and friends to remember the person’s life, to thank God for him or her, to be reminded of God’s wonderful promise of eternal life for us, and to find comfort at a difficult time.

The Bible shows us that God is Love and our supreme Comforter. At St Swithun’s, we want to express God’s comfort and his love to you in your grief and loss and also to provide an appropriate Christian service at our church or other place.

Sometimes people will choose a funeral service at church prior to the cremation or burial. Others prefer a memorial service after the cremation or burial. Those closest to the person who died will know that person’s wishes and can make the right decision. Our Ministry Team is here to help you and guide you as you plan the service. As a church family who have experienced our own griefs and loss, we want to look after you before and after the funeral in every way possible.

Please call us on 9488 7377 to talk with our staff to arrange a funeral or memorial service.
