When we started seeing hundreds baptized, things had to change. The traditional church structure—waiting until the end of the service for baptisms—created bottlenecking challenges. Now, baptisms are an ongoing part of the service, rather than a singular moment at the end!
Baptisms won’t start at the end—they will happen throughout the entire service. People can be baptized before the service starts, during worship, and even during preaching. This approach prevents long waits and allows individuals to fully participate in the altar call after being baptized. The majority of baptisms often occur before the preacher even begins speaking. Having multiple baptismal tanks running throughout the service ensures efficiency and minimizes disruption.
We utilize multiple baptizers to keep the process flowing smoothly. This includes husband-and-wife teams, as well as our Hyphen group, and young leaders. Each baptistry station has at least two to three people: one performing the baptism and others praying with the individual to receive the Spirit as they come out of the water. A dedicated registration team ensures people are prepared and robed before approaching the tank.
Baptisms should be both exciting and effective. We want to ensure that each individual understands the significance of this step. When they approach the baptistry, they are warmly greeted and reminded of what baptism means—without lengthy Bible studies. The goal is to make the process easy, faith-building, and full of expectation that they will receive the Spirit as they come out of the water. Intentionality in this area has led to powerful results, including services where 100% of those baptized also received the Holy Ghost. By maintaining a focus on faith and efficiency, we maximize the impact of every baptism experience.
