Get Baptized
If you have accepted Jesus but have never had the opportunity to celebrate your new life in Him through water baptism, this is your next step!
CHANGES TO OUR ONLINE MESSAGES
As pandemic related restrictions are lifted and more people have begun to return to in-person services, we have made changes to our weekly online messages.
To stay up to date on the message that was given in person at the campus, you can listen online below or subscribe to our podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
If you would prefer to see a video message, we will post one from a member of our cross-campus teaching team each Sunday morning here. It will be available on-demand so you can watch it whenever you want. While each week's video message will be from the current series, the topic may be different than that of the in-person message.

DANIEL KNUTSON
Matthew 28:16-20 (NIV)
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 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, baptizing 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.”
Author: Luke the Doctor
Luke 1:3b-4 (NIV)
…I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Acts 1:6-8 (NIV)
Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 2:37-39 (NLT)
Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?" Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
Acts 8:27b-39 (NIV)
This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”
The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.”
