2. Parents (if candidates are under 18 years old) need to submit a request for child(ren) to the rector's office be considered as a Baptism candidate. All requests are reviewed and considered by the rector and/or Junior church/Youth portfolio and the outcome of the request will be communicated. (if your request is declined you will be given reason(s) why)

3. Candidates and or their parents must commit to attending and participating in Baptism preparation.

4. Candidates and or their parents must make every effort to being regular church attendants after Baptism.

The program and resources to used for the confirmation classes will take into account the participants of that year, but always include materials such as the APB Catechism, Creeds and Lord's Prayer among other resources. The details regarding what resources are to be used will be communicated to the relevant parents of the candidate(s).
