Most Christian churches perform baptism, as instituted by Our Lord at the end of Matthew's Gospel:
"Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Therefore the vast majority of Christian Churches baptise in this way, in the name of the Trinitarian God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Some denominations baptise both infants and adults (eg the Orthodox, Methodists, Roman Catholics and Anglicans) while some baptise only adults (eg Baptists).
There are some Christian denominations such as the Salvation Army and the Society of Friends (Quakers), who, despite being orthodox (small 'o') Christian denominations, shun all forms of sacrament, including baptism, but who instead have their own 'membership' rites that resemble baptism in the sense of being born again and committing one's life to Christ.
The group known as the Jehovah's Witnesses also practises baptism, but as this group shuns the Trinitarian godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and their baptism reflects this belief, their baptism is not recognised as valid by the rest of the Christian Church.

What impact does the church have on a visitor?
A church is not an organization or a building. You have to understand that a church is a group of believers who are human. Today's churches still have a big impact to the society but due to human imperfections, many believers do not stand firm on the teachings from the Bible. They tend to conform to the society instead of influencing the society to the right direction. That is too bad. On the other hand there are still believers (churches) standing firm on the fundamental doctrines and Bible's teachings. The atheists called these churches fundamentalists and conservatives. Although there are alway bad images of the churches all over the world, churches will continue to impact the society in many area in certain extent, until Jesus returns.
