Life Change Bay West Church in Palm Bay

What Does Life Change Look Like?

When someone puts their faith in Jesus at Bay West, we invite them to take a next step called believer's baptism. Pastor Jim often reminds people that there's nothing magical about the water itself. Instead, baptism is a powerful, public declaration of a change God has already made on the inside. It symbolizes the death of an old way of life and a fresh commitment to walk forward with Jesus.

In Scripture, believers were often baptized in public spaces near the heart of a community. Crowds gathered to witness the moment. At Bay West, we continue that tradition during our Sunday worship service, surrounded by people who will walk with you in this new life.

Here is one of our baptism services from a few years ago to give you an idea.

What is Baptism?

If you'd like to know more about the subject of baptism and its Scriptural basis, here is a sermon preached at Bay West Church explaining baptism.
I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.Ezekiel 36:26 (The Message)
