Membership & Baptism

Designed for anyone considering membership or wanting to know more about Washington Heights. This class explores what we believe, what we value, how we work together, and what it means to be a part of the WHBC community. It is taught by one of our pastors and you will meet on Sundays during the 9am hour for one month. We offer the class twice a year, once in the fall and then again in the spring.

If you wish to start the membership process, you will have an application to complete and submit back to the church after the class. From there, you will be contacted to schedule an interview with two of our deacons.

Baptism is for those who have professed faith in Jesus Christ and can give sufficient testimony to the basics of Christian beliefs. We baptize by immersion because it is not only the original significance of the word but also best symbolizes the reality to which baptism points—our death and resurrection in Christ.

If you have not been baptized following salvation, we ask you to take this step before becoming a member. To help prepare you, we ask that you meet with one of our pastors.
