At New Holland Church Furniture, we design and build custom hardwood baptismal fonts in Traditional, Classic, and Contemporary styles. Each font is handcrafted to match your sanctuary’s existing furniture and can be sized and finished to your congregation’s specifications. Our team at New Holland has built worship furniture for over 70 years.
Are you renovating your church or building a new worship space? The design and quality of your baptismal font sets the tone for your baptism ceremonies. You may wish to design a new church baptismal font to resemble one your congregation cherishes closely, adding to the spiritual experience. Or, you might want to create an entirely new design that creates a more personal and unique ritual.
No matter what you decide, New Holland Church Furniture can work with you or your designer to design and build a church baptism font that meets your church’s needs. We can customize your wooden baptismal font with emblems, logos, or insignias, match the color to other church furniture, or add design elements that complement your church pews.
With over 70 years of experience, our team has manufactured and installed church furniture worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and South America. To discuss your unique requirements and find the perfect baptismal font for your worship space, reach out to our dedicated representatives.
What Styles Are Available For Your Baptismal Fonts?
Whether your church baptizes infants, children, or adults, your baptismal font is the place for this sacred ritual. At New Holland, we offer three baptismal font styles to match any sanctuary aesthetic:
Traditional
Classic proportions, ornate details, and timeless woodwork. Ideal for liturgical spaces with established architectural character.
Classic
A refined, balanced design that works across a wide range of worship spaces and denominations.
Contemporary
Clean lines and modern form. A strong fit for newer sanctuaries or recently renovated worship spaces.
All three styles are customizable in wood species, finish, and detailing to match your sanctuary’s existing furniture.

Looking for Other Worship Furniture?
While looking through baptismal fonts for sale, you might also want to consider updating other parts of your church furnishings. Having a piece-meal decorated place of worship can provide a very personal and unique feeling to a spiritual experience. However, many congregations choose to update all of their church furniture at the same time to create a more cohesive look and feel. We offer a complete line of worship furniture, including pulpits and ambos, lecterns, church tables, clergy chairs, and more.
Wood vs. Stone Baptismal Fonts: Which Is Right for Your Sanctuary?
Choosing between wood and stone comes down to your sanctuary’s existing aesthetic, your timeline, and how you want your font to coordinate with the rest of your furniture.
Custom Wood Baptismal Fonts
A custom hardwood font from New Holland is built to coordinate directly with your existing pews, pulpit, and chancel furniture — same wood species, same finish, same craftsmanship. Wood also allows for detailed carving, joinery, and proportional customization that stone typically cannot match. Lead times are predictable, and installation is coordinated by the New Holland team.
Stone Baptismal Fonts
Stone fonts offer a durable, weighty presence and may suit sanctuaries with masonry or stone architectural elements. However, stone cannot be finished to match hardwood pews, is significantly heavier, and requires specialist fabricators separate from your furniture supplier. Coordinating a stone font with a wood furniture package often means managing two vendors.
