Two historic baptism events set to unite churches and ignite revival across California and the nation

Following last year’s record-breaking movement, Baptize California is set to return on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, with the goal of bringing churches together across the state for the largest synchronized baptism event in history. 


This year, the vision expands beyond California with the launch of Baptize America on Sunday, June 8th, 2025, uniting believers nationwide in a historic outpouring of faith.

After witnessing thousands of baptisms in 2024, organizers are preparing for an even greater move of God in 2025.

Baptize California remains a statewide initiative, calling on churches, pastors, and believers to take part in hosting baptisms in their communities.

One month later, Baptize America will take this vision across all 50 states, inviting the nation to unite in a powerful declaration of faith.

Baptize California: A Unified Move of God in the Golden State

Led by Pastor Mark Francey of Oceans Church, Baptize California has grown from a single-location event to a state-wide revival. On May 3rd, churches across California will host synchronized baptisms, uniting thousands in an unprecedented move of spiritual renewal.

Last year, we saw history made as believers across California stepped into the waters of baptism. We believe 2025 will be even greater,” said Pastor Francey. “God is not done with California, and we are seeing a hunger for revival like never before.

Churches of all sizes are encouraged to register and participate. Those interested in hosting a Baptize California event at their campus can sign up at Baptize.org. 


Baptize America: A National Revival Begins June 8th

Building upon the momentum of Baptize California, the launch of Baptize America on June 8th, 2025, aims to mobilize churches across the country for a synchronized national baptism event.

This historic initiative is calling on churches, pastors, and believers from coast to coast to join the movement and advocate for revival.

Our mission is simple—unite the church, turn fully back to Jesus, and see our nation transformed,” said Pastor Francey. “If we stand together, we believe we will witness a powerful spiritual awakening across America.
