Thinking About Baptism?

Thinking About Baptism? Join Us on August 18 & 25
Baptism is a unique and important ritual of the church that demonstrates that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, understand that Jesus stood in our place, for our sins and for our salvation, and that with His resurrection, He gave us new life empowered by the Holy Spirit. In baptism, we see the gospel with our eyes.
People differ as to who should get wet, when, and how much water should be used, but since the birth of Christianity, new converts have always been baptized because it symbolizes salvation.
It may be that you’ve become a Christian through your time at Parkside Church Westside, but you haven’t really told anyone. If that’s the case, we thank God for what he’s doing in you, and want to help you follow through in baptism because God will use it to strengthen your soul.
If you would like to be baptized, or simply have questions about it, please join us on August 18 and 25 for a two-day Baptism Preparation Workshop. After our Sunday service, we will meet to work through the biblical material related to baptism and cover the details for our next baptism service on September 8. Lunch will be provided. Please sign up so that we may prepare accordingly.
