what is
baptism?
Baptism is one of the most powerful ways we carry the name of Jesus to the world. A sign of our new identity: dead to our old life of sin, raised to new life in Christ now and forever! It's a seal of God’s promises to his people and an outward sign of entrance into the community of faith.
Adult baptism
If you've never been baptized, God may be calling you to take this step! Whenever someone who was not baptized earlier in life comes to the point of entrusting their life to the care and leadership of Jesus, we publicly celebrate this through baptism on a Sunday morning.
infant baptism
Because of our covenantal view of baptism, we baptize the infants of believing parents who desire this for their children. We take baptismal promises seriously, so we ask parents to become members of Westwood Church before requesting baptism for their child.
