Getting Started

At Southwest we believe that baptism is an important step of obedience for every person who has accepted Christ as his/her Savior. We are excited that you are interested in taking that step and we feel privileged to be able to walk with you through the process.
The following links are designed to explain baptism and the steps necessary to being baptized at an upcoming service. If you have any questions regarding baptism after navigating the links, please feel free to contact Tom Groman at (760) 200-2000 ext. 2247.
The Baptism Process
Baptism at Southwest has been designed to be both simple and meaningful. From the registration form to the baptism meeting, each step has been carefully planned with you in mind.
- Fill out the online baptism registration form. Once we receive your registration form we will contact you to schedule your videotaping and baptism.
- Read about making your video.
We want you to be as comfortable and prepared for the video as possible.
What can you expect next?
After we receive your registration form, we'll contact you and schedule you for an informational meeting where you'll also have your testimony videotaped.
Then all that's left is to get baptized!
Baptisms take place during one of the Sunday morning services and include a showing of your prerecorded video.
