BAPTIZE Movement Sets May 2 for Baptize California and May 24 for Baptisms Worldwide

Join the movement: Baptize California begins May 2 at Pirate’s Cove, with Baptize America and Baptize the World taking place May 24. Register at www.Baptize.org
Thousands expected at Pirates Cove on May 2, followed by Pentecost Sunday baptisms worldwide on May 24 and a live gathering in Washington, D.C.
What began in Southern California as a beach baptism gathering has grown into a broader movement bringing churches together across the United States and around the world. At its core, the effort is about unity in the Church, the Great Commission, and the public declaration of faith through water baptism. The movement has united more than 1,600 churches and seen more than 50,790 baptisms in the past 24 months. Organizers say the movement now includes participation from more than 60 nations for Baptize the World on May 24.
Baptize California is expected to bring believers together at Pirates Cove Beach for worship, prayer, celebration, and ocean baptisms. On May 24, churches across the United States and around the world will host baptisms in their own communities as part of a coordinated Pentecost Sunday observance.
“Baptism is more than a moment in the water. It is a public declaration that a life has been changed by Jesus Christ. What makes this movement so powerful is seeing the Church come together in unity, across cities, states, and nations, to lift up the name of Jesus and invite people into new life. We are believing for revival, for families to be restored, and for hearts to be awakened to the love and saving grace of God. Baptize California, Baptize America, and Baptize the World are all part of one greater mission: to see the Church united and the world transformed, one life at a time,” said Pastor Mark Francey, lead pastor of Oceans Church.
