Get Your Strategy On
We had an incredible afternoon today. About 2,000 people gathered on a lake about 30 minutes from the church up in Michigan. We had 14 different pastors and ministry leaders in the water. After submitting written testimonies, publicly declaring their faith on the beach, and affirming their commitment to follow Jesus out in the water, over 400 people were baptized. I’m pretty sure that’s the most people we’ve ever baptized in one day in the history of Granger Community Church.
There’s probably nothing that I enjoy more about ministry than the opportunity to baptize someone after they’ve committed their life to Christ. It’s a sacred moment. It’s a beautiful moment. And, I’ve been both honored and humbled to share that experience with many people through the years at Granger. What a privilege!

Tony,
Our church baptized over 60 Sunday. It really is an incredible thing to see new believers take the next step in their journey of faith!

Dude, that is awesome! I will never forget the feeling I had when we had a day like that at Fellowship of The Woodlands. What a moment…that takes all day to experience! Thanks for the picture and the reminder.
