Baptism and Membership

Getting Baptized

At Willowdale, we love to celebrate lives changed by Christ. One of the ways we do that is through Baptisms. Baptism is a public expression of your faith in Christ. We baptize people today because Jesus told us that after a person has become His follower, they are to be baptized. Baptism is the one rite of passage that Jesus requires of every true believer. If you haven’t been baptized, as a believer, we invite you to take the plunge and signify your faith in Jesus. Check out the link below to learn more about baptism and Willowdale’s perspective.

At Willowdale, we practice believer’s baptism rather than infant baptism, believing this important rite is best undertaken when a person chooses for themselves to follow Jesus. Obviously, your little one is not quite capable of that yet. But we still believe the birth of your baby is a spiritually significant event and should be marked as such through dedication.
