It’s the next step after salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on earth, and we do this to follow his example. When Christians are baptized they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection.
We baptize during our services on the last Sunday of every month.
If you’re ready to get baptized or looking for more information, sign up here and we’ll connect with you!

Why should I be baptized?
To follow the example set by Jesus.
"At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan." – Mark 1:9
Because Christ commands it.
"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." – Matthew 28:19-20
Why be baptized by immersion?
Because Jesus was baptized that way.
"As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water." – Matthew 3:16
Every baptism in the Bible was by immersion.
The Greek word “baptize” means, “to immerse or dip underwater.” It best represents the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Can my child be baptized?
We will baptize any child who understands what baptism symbolizes and wants to make that personal public declaration. We encourage any parents to partner with our Desperation Kids and Desperation Students ministries to guide your children through these decisions of faith.
What should I bring to my baptism?
We will give you a t-shirt to wear during your baptism. Bring a towel, change of clothes, and anything you need to get ready after your baptism!
What time should I arrive?
We host Baptism Orientation 30 minutes before the service where you will be baptized. When you arrive, please locate our baptism team in the lobby and they will show you where orientation takes place at your campus!
