What is Baptism?

Join Matt and Julie as they answer the question “What is Baptism?” They’re joined by their long-time friend, Will Derness, the wilderness explorer, as they search for answers. Together, we’ll read the Bible, play a game, and sing a song as we continue to learn more about B!g Church this season.
