In the sacrament of baptism, we are given new birth through water and the Spirit, incorporated into God’s mighty acts of salvation, and initiated into God’s family at Platte Woods Church.

In the United Methodist Church, Baptism is open to all ages.

Our pastoral team provides teaching to those who are interested in baptism for themselves or their children. You are invited to take this step by providing your information on the Baptism Request Form. You will be contacted by a pastor to continue your path.

Membership is a time when you take a step to make a commitment to Platte Woods Church. Members vow to support the church through prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. Depending on where you are in your faith journey, you may join through a profession of faith, through restoration, transferring from other denominations or transferring from another United Methodist church.

If you are looking to take a step towards membership, you can go to our Opportunities page and sign up for our membership class, Connect and Commit. We will provide lunch and a time of learning with our pastoral team as you consider what membership looks like at PWC. For more information about becoming a member at PWC, please contact Michael Elliott, PWC Welcome & Connections coordinator.
