The inaugural Baptize California event concluded this past weekend, marking a historic moment of unity and faith as thousands of believers participated in what may have been one of the largest water baptisms in history.
The event, held on May 18 and 19, brought together churches from across the state and inter-denominational lines for a collective celebration of faith at Huntington State Beach and various other locations.
Building on the success of last year’s Baptize SoCal, which saw over 4,100 people baptized at Pirate’s Cove, Baptize California aimed to amplify this momentum for the State. The flagship event at Huntington State Beach featured a powerful lineup of worship and praise. From 3:00 to 7:00 PM, attendees experienced a vibrant prayer, testimony, and worship atmosphere, culminating in mass baptisms along the Pacific shore.
The two-day event in Huntington drew an estimated 19,000 people Saturday and Sunday, creating a dynamic and joyful atmosphere of music and community.
In light of this year’s success, Baptize California is already planning its next event, Baptize America, scheduled for June 8, 2025. This national initiative aims to extend the spirit of unity and revival across the entire country, inviting churches from all states to participate in a simultaneous baptism event.
