Two weekends ago, our church family experienced a day we will never forget—a day overflowing with hope, joy, and the unmistakable presence of God. At our Plunge Baptism Event, we witnessed over 65 people publicly declare their faith in Jesus Christ and be baptized into new life!
From the moment the first volunteer arrived early in the morning until the last piece of equipment was packed away, the entire day was a testament to the beauty of God’s people coming together with one heart and one mission.
A Community United
Our hearts are full of gratitude for the eight ministries that worked seamlessly side by side to make this event possible. Children’s, youth, worship, hospitality, pastoral care, outreach, facilities, and prayer ministries each played a vital role. Their collaboration showed the power of unity in the Body of Christ—every ministry contributed, and every person mattered.
The 100 incredible volunteers who gave their time and energy embodied the servant-hearted love of Jesus. Some helped set up chairs and baptism stations, others greeted guests with warm smiles, prayed with those taking this life-changing step, or prepared refreshments to keep everyone energized. Each volunteer’s faithfulness was woven into the fabric of this beautiful day.
Perfect Weather, Perfect Spirit
We prayed for good weather, and God provided! The skies were clear, the sun was bright, and a soft breeze brought comfort throughout the afternoon. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation, but also carried a deep sense of peace. Children got to make posters celebrating the baptisms led by Pastor Julia.
Stories That Inspire
Every baptism represented a unique story of God’s grace at work—stories of freedom from addiction, healing of relationships, finding hope after seasons of despair, or simply a growing desire to follow Jesus with wholehearted devotion. As each person stepped into the water, their friends and family cheered, clapped, and sometimes wept tears of joy. Testimonies were shared, songs of worship rose into the air, and faith was ignited in the hearts of many who watched.
One highlight was seeing entire families baptized together—parents and children stepping into the water hand in hand, proclaiming Jesus as Lord of their lives. Moments like these reminded us that God’s love extends to every generation.
The Power of Together
Perhaps the most powerful part of the day was watching people from every background—different ages, ethnicities, and walks of life—come together in unity. There was no distinction between volunteer and guest, young and old, new believer and seasoned follower. For a few hours, we were simply one family, worshiping one Saviour, sharing one incredible moment.
Looking Ahead with Gratitude
We believe baptism is just the beginning of the journey, and we are committed to walking alongside each person who took this bold step of faith. Our church family is excited to support them through discipleship, community, and prayer in the days ahead.
Thank you to every ministry, volunteer, and attendee who made this day possible. Your prayers, hard work, and love created an environment where the Holy Spirit moved powerfully. We truly could not have done it without you.
Most importantly, we thank God for His faithfulness. What a joy to see lives transformed, hope renewed, and hearts awakened to the love of Christ!
Let’s continue to celebrate what God has done, and let’s look forward with expectation for what He will do next in our church and community.
