Does anyone know where can I go for a baptism course at an English speaking Lutheran church? Preferably in Vantaa, though Helsinki would be ok as well.

What is a baptism course?

A religious sacrament marked by the symbolic application of water to the head or immersion of the body into water and resulting in admission of the recipient into the community of Christians

When we had our son baptised, I contacted the office at the Lutheran church that deals with foreigners. Rev. Molina (now retired) arranged for a local priest to meet with me and explain the baptism process in English. We didn't have him baptised here, so my sil arranged for the priest in Kokkola to do the baptism. I definitely wanted to know what it was all about, though.

Here is some info in English. There is a link in the top right corner with contacts. You could call your Vantaa parish and ask for a priest who speaks English.
