Baptism and Remembering Our Baptism

One of the Practices That Helps Us Center Jesus

Jesus began his public ministry by stepping into the waters of baptism (Matthew 3).
In doing so, he showed us the way—humble, surrendered, and wide open to the Spirit’s leading.

When we follow Jesus into baptism, we’re saying yes to that same path.
It’s a public, powerful declaration that Jesus is at the center of our story.
It’s a sign of new life—and a lifelong journey of transformation.

At Westwinds, we love to celebrate baptism.
It’s more than a personal milestone—it’s a shared moment.
A holy moment.
A time when we remember we belong:
to one another,
to the global Church,
and to the great movement of Jesus-followers across time and place.
What a beautiful legacy to step into.

Baptism often comes early in someone’s journey—but not always.
Maybe you’ve followed Jesus for years. Maybe you’re just beginning.
Wherever you are, we’d love to walk with you.
