WATER BAPTISM


Being baptized is a great next step once you've started following Jesus. It is an outward symbol of the inward commitment to follow Jesus. Baptism does not make you a believer, it shows that you already are one! Baptism does not “save” you, only your faith in Jesus does that. Baptism is like a wedding ring – it’s the outward symbol of the commitment you made in your heart.

 

Because of this, we think a celebration is in order whenever a part of the Westbridge family makes this public declaration!

Water Baptism is a decision that people make for themselves once they have started following Jesus and is a much more meaningful and memorable experience when done at an age of awareness.  While Water Baptism is a personal decision, Child Dedication is a statement made by parents on behalf of their kids!
